The 77-year-old South Korean actor, who has never won a Golden Globe before, earned the top prize for his portrayal of Oh II-nam, also referred to as The Host or Player 001.
O Yeong-su is the first Korean actor in Golden Globes history to win an award and beat out the likes of Billy Crudup (The Morning Show), Kieran Culkin (Succession), Mark Duplass (The Morning Show) and Brett Goldstein (Ted Lasso).
The septuagenarian began his acting career on the stage, appearing in over 200 theatre productions from 1967 before moving to film and television.
Since its release in September, Squid Game has become Netflix’s most-watched series in 94 countries, with 142million households tuning in to watch the dystopian South Korean drama.
