, April 5 -- su, widely recognized for playing Oh Il-nam (Player 001) in Netflix's Squid Game, has been sentenced to one year in prison after being convicted of indecent assault.

The 80-year-old was initially handed an eight-month prison term with a two-year probation period. However, a more recent court ruling has increased the sentence to one year of imprisonment.

The charges stem from incidents in which O Yeong-su was accused of forcibly molesting a woman on two separate occasions - allegations he has consistently denied.

During a hearing on Thursday, April 3, prosecutors described O as a seasoned theatre actor with nearly 50 years of experience who had "sexually harassed a junior colleague lacking power within the troupe."
