Seoul [South Korea], November 12 (ANI): A South Korean appeals court has overturned the sexual misconduct conviction of Squid Game actor O Yeong-su.

According to Deadline, citing a Korean news agency, the Suwon District Court cleared the 81-year-old actor of charges that he hugged and kissed a woman against her will during a regional play tour in 2017. O had been charged in 2022.

The court said there was suspicion that O may have harassed the woman, but added that her memory of the incident could have been affected over time. The judges also stated that when doubts exist, it is important to protect the rights of the accused. The court noted that the woman had received counselling for sexual violence about six months after the incident and that O had apologised to her at her request.
