SEOUL, South Korea (AP) &mdash; Award-winning &ldquo;Squid Game&rdquo; actor Oh Young-soo will stand trial on charges of indecent assault after a woman accused him of inappropriately touching her in 2017, a South Korean court said.
The district court in Seongnam city said Thursday that prosecutors indicted the 78-year-old&nbsp;Emmy nominee&nbsp;last week over the allegations and that his trial will begin in February. Kim Myeong-un, an official at Seongnam&rsquo;s district prosecutors&rsquo; office, said it could not confirm specific details about Oh&rsquo;s case, which was first reported by local media last week.
According to the reports, the unidentified woman originally filed a complaint against Oh in December 2021, accusing him of making unwanted physical contact during a meeting in 2017.
Oh did not answer multiple calls by the Associated Press seeking comments.
South Korean cable channel JTBC said Oh denied wrongdoing when reached by a reporter, saying that he had only held the woman&rsquo;s hands to &ldquo;show her the way&rdquo; as they walked around a lake. According to JTBC, Oh said he had offered the woman an apology, not because he acknowledged the accusations against him but because the woman allegedly told him she &ldquo;wouldn&rsquo;t raise an issue&rdquo; about the incident if he did.
Oh became the first South Korean actor to win a Golden Globe in January after he was named the top supporting actor for his role in&nbsp;&ldquo;Squid Game,&rdquo; a brutal Netflix drama&nbsp;about a desperate group of adults competing in deadly children&rsquo;s games for a chance to escape severe debt.
Oh was also nominated for an Emmy for his performance as Oh Il-nam, a mysterious elderly contestant who joined the games after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
