Viewers might recognize Oh Young Soo as Oh Il Nam, aka player number 001 in the hit Netflix series “Squid Game”; however, long before the K-drama directed by Hwang Dong Hyuk, he acted in various films. The veteran actor has been in the industry since the early 1980s, where he often plays the monk due to his distinct aura and looks. Interestingly, he recently rose to fame after joining the cast of “Squid Game”.

During the height of the show’s popularity, most of the cast, including Oh Young Soo, launched their own Instagram accounts to connect with their global fans.

Adding to the acting milestone, he picked up a historic win after becoming the first Korean actor to be honored individually at the 2022 Golden Globes.

The 77-year-old actor won the role of Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television at the 79th Golden Globe Awards, beating Hollywood big names such as Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass from “The Morning Show”, Keiran Culkin from “Succession” and Brett Goldstein from “Ted Lasso”.

At the time, the actor expressed his deep gratitude to everyone who watched the series.

Thanks to Netflix, as obtained by a news portal, he was thrilled to hear the news and said to himself, “I’m a decent guy for the first time in my life.”

“While embracing the scent of our culture and embracing the love for my family deep in my heart, I give thanks to everyone in the world.”

With his newfound fame, Oh Young Soo was reportedly courted by brands to be their endorser, but the veteran actor refused. He even turned down interviews after his record achievement.

According to an outlet, he politely declined an offer from Korean fried chicken brand Kkanbu Chicken to endorse their brand saying he wanted to focus on acting.

As a reminder, “Kkanbu” is an important term in “Squid Game,” meaning “close old friend,” where the episode features a heartbreaking scene between Oh Il Nam and Seung Gi Hoon, played by Lee Jung Jae.

On the other hand, with his decades-long acting career in both theater and the small screen, reports have noted that Oh Young Soo’s net worth is around $3-4 million.

Most of their nominations are for major categories, including Outstanding Drama Series, Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Lee Jung Jae, and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Park Hae Soo and Oh Young Soo.

Scheduled to air live on September 12 via NBC at 8 p.m. EST, the Television Academy will officially name the TV shows and actors who will be the year’s new winners.
