'Squid Game' actor O Yeong Su appeared at the first court hearing in the sexual harassment case that surfaced recently.
In 2021, a woman 'A' filed a lawsuit against O Yeong Su, claiming that the actor had sexually harassed her in 2017. When the police dismissed 'A's case, 'A' appealed the case to the prosecution.
Since the first allegations, O Yeong Su has denied the accusations and claimed he never sexually harassed the woman.
Meanwhile, the woman continues to claim that O Yeong Su "forcibly embraced" her while the two were out on a walk, then "kissed her on the right cheek unwarned" while 'A' was typing in the passcode to her front door. O Yeong Su, on the other hand, maintains the position that he "only took her hand to lead the way" during their walk.
After this case became public, many netizens wondered why the woman decided to take action after so many years. Many Korean netizens wonder why the alleged victim had taken 6 years to file a complaint right after O Yeong Su became famous through 'Squid Game.'
Netizens commented, "I don't understand how she stayed so quiet when he wasn't famous but as soon as she smells money on him, she appears," "Back in 2017, that was when O Seong Su wasn't well known... I still wonder why she didn't just report him back then if it was really sexual harassment but she waited until he got popular," "It's been six years," "So why didn't she report him during that time? Why wait until 2021?" "These cases always break out when the 'victim' has something they can get," "I get that being hugged forcibly and kissed on the cheek is sexual harassment, but then why wait until now to report it?" "He said he held her hand, which makes it seem like there is some truth to her claim, but why now? and how can she be that traumatized?" and "This wouldn't have happened if the grandpa actor didn't get famous."

of course, we do not know what happened because we weren't there but people please be kind and considerate when replying. i was sexually abused about 8 years ago. it was incredibly traumatizing, i couldn't say anything for a long time. when i finally trusted people close to me, they blamed me, said it somehow must have been my own fault. but it really really wasn't. i said no over and over again. i did nothing wrong. i never asked for it.
lately i have been thinking of filing a report. i know it's too late, but i still want to do it. lately because society has changed and i have seen many victims come forward, i feel more courageous. i want to file a report for myself, to stand up for myself, even if it's after all this time.
if what the victim said is true, i can understand. when someone becomes famous and everybody is praising that person, it's a bitter pill to swallow. not just seeing them, but also hearing everybody hype them up.
in the end, i don't know what happened, but please be considerate when replying.
