In 2021, O portrayed Oh Il-nam in the first season of the Netflix survival drama series Squid Game, which earned him worldwide recognition and won him a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film, as well as a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

In 2024, O was found guilty of sexually assaulting a woman in 2017, and was sentenced to an eight-month suspended prison term, as well as being ordered to attend 40 hours of classes on sexual violence.
