The Korea JoongAng Daily notes that in a Friday court session, prosecutors also proposed barring O from employment involving children and adolescents and demanded his personal information for public disclosure, citing his lack of remorse.
As reported by The Korea Herald, O was officially indicted in Nov. 2022 following accusations of sexually assaulting a theater troupe colleague in 2017. The complaint alleges that O groped and kissed her without consent.
However, O has since maintained his innocence throughout his trial, which started in February last year.
The verdict is scheduled to be delivered on Mar. 15.
O, 80, has had a long career in acting since 1963, with significant recognition in theater and a notable performance in South Korean director Kim Ki-duk’s 2003 film "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring."
He gained international attention with his role in the 2021 Netflix-produced series "Squid Game."
