SEOUL (Agencies) - South Korea's "Squid Game" actor Oh Yeong-su has been found guilty of sexual misconduct, a local court said Friday, after he was charged with assaulting a woman in 2017.

The 79-year-old in 2022 became the first South Korean to win a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actor in a series for his performance as a seemingly vulnerable old man in the mega-hit Netflix dystopian thriller. He was also nominated for a 2022 Emmy for his performance on the show, which is still the most watched series ever on Netflix.
