O Yeong-su has become the first South Korean actor to win an award at the Golden Globes for his role in the Netflix hit series “Squid Game.”

O won in the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Supporting Role at the ceremony held on Sunday, beating out Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass of "The Morning Show," Kieran Culkin of "Succession" and Brett Goldstein of "Ted Lasso."
