At the decision trial held on the afternoon of the 2nd by Judge Jeong Yeon-ju, Detective 6, Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court, the prosecution requested Oh Young-soo to be sentenced to one year in prison and requested the court to order an employment restriction and disclose personal information.
In September 2017, Oh Young-soo was accused of making inappropriate physical contact with A, a woman from the same troupe, by hugging and kissing her while walking on a walk. Oh Young-soo denied that he had held hands and visited the woman's residence, but that he had not molested her.
The prosecution said, "In 2017, at a drinking party with the victim, the defendant distortedly expressed his desire for youth by saying, 'You look like a woman,' and evaded responsibility by sending an apology text message to the victim's request and saying, 'I feel like a daughter.' “I made him feel frustrated. Please punish him severely,” he requested.
Oh Young-soo said, "It is very difficult and painful to stand in court like this at this age," and added, "It is devastating to see my life end in this situation and I feel like my entire life is falling apart."
Oh Young-soo appeared in Season 1 of Netflix's 'Squid Game' and received great love, being called 'Grandpa Kanbu'. In January 2022, he became the first Korean to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.
