Squid Game's Oh Young Soo faces Supreme Court appeal after acquittal

Entertainment Nov 19, 2025

Oh Young Soo, the veteran actor from Squid Game, was recently cleared of molestation charges tied to a 2017 incident with a fellow theater member.
While his initial conviction led to a suspended prison sentence, the court later overturned it, citing possible memory issues from the accuser.
Now, prosecutors are taking things up a notch by appealing this acquittal to South Korea's Supreme Court as of November 17.

What both sides are saying

The accuser's legal team called the ruling "deplorable" and is pushing for judges to take another look at the case.
With Oh being such a well-known figure in Korea, this case has likely grabbed plenty of attention—and it isn't over yet.
