The Squid Game actor O Yeong-su has been charged with sexual misconduct, South Korean officials say.<\/p>\n

The 78-year-old is accused of inappropriately touching a woman in 2017, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The woman first filed a complaint in December 2021 but the case was dropped in April without charges being brought.<\/p>\n

“At the request of the victim” the case is now being reopened, the Yonhap news agency says.<\/p>\n

Mr O has denied the allegation, local media report.<\/p>\n

He has been charged but has not been detained, Yonhap said.<\/p>\n

Following the charge, Seoul’s cultural ministry has stopped broadcasting a government advert he features in.<\/p>\n

Squid Game is the most popular show in Netflix’s history.<\/p>\n

It tells the story of debt-ridden people, including Mr O’s character, competing in a series of deadly games for a cash prize.<\/p>\n
