I want to apologise all Thais,’’ the Korean told a press conference. “I want the matter to end as soon as possible.’’ Rungravee claims she was punched by the coach after her loss in her first match at the Korean Open earlier this month. The 40-year-old coach insisted he did not punch Rungravee but only punished her because she arrived late at the competition venue.
Rungravee reportedly fell ill due to stress after being criticised by Choi’s supporters. Some of them labelled her a liar for her claim that she was punched about 10 times by Choi, while others called her a soap opera star. She was asked to explain her side of the story before the investigation committee on Saturday but she did not show up to the hearing.
