The 79-year-old actor, who won a Golden Globe Award for his performance, was sentenced to eight months in prison, which was suspended for two years.
In addition to the suspended sentence, O Yeong-su has been mandated to attend 40 hours of classes on sexual violence. The court based its decision on the victim's consistent statements and evidence of the assault, which occurred in 2017.
The incidents took place during O Yeong-su's stay in a rural area for a theater performance, and he was indicted in 2022 on charges of sexually assaulting a woman on two separate occasions.
