The Genesis Championship is still a hot topic.
Kim Joo-hyung recently appeared in a media outlet and expressed his position. At this meeting, Kim Joo-hyung "You misunderstood me a lot. (The locker) I opened the door a little quickly, and I think the inner Gyeonghub screw fell out. In fact, there have been a few times before when the door doesn't pull well. So I thought the door could fall if I left it as it is, so I asked my caddie and manager to take the door out and put it next to me for safety and I did so." Then "If you broke it on purpose, you wouldn't have let it go." I put it next to him for safety reasons, but I think there's a misunderstanding," he added. He also contacted the association as soon as the situation occurred. While pulling the door, the door fell out, and I said I took it to the side because it could be dangerous, and I finished making up for it. The association also understood. But it's a shame that there's a lot of misunderstanding. The truth is, I was organizing my bag in the locker room when the door didn't open, so I pulled it a little hard, and the door broke, and I left it aside for safety."
Kim Joo-hyung posted a long post in English on his SNS a day ago.

On the 28th, when the incident was released, he expressed his apology in an interview with another media outlet. "When I came into the locker room after (Ahn) Byung-hoon, who won the championship, sincerely congratulated him, I was angry at myself for not being able to take advantage of the opportunity to win as a player. I opened the door hard without realizing it, but one door fell off. "It's definitely not like hitting with your fist or anything. But apart from the reason, it's obviously my fault that the locker room door was damaged. Dear fans, I would like to apologize to Genesis, KPGA, DP World Tour, and golf course officials for hosting the tournament. Then "I played in front of domestic fans for the first time in a long time, and I'm sorry once again that such an unpleasant thing happened." I will reflect on myself as a player and use it as an opportunity to become more mature."
A three-day apology relay. But the words keep changing.

After the incident, Kim Joo-hyung expressed his intention to compensate by text message, not by phone. In addition, as it has become an issue in the United States beyond Korea, it is actively explaining in various ways. It is a competition held in Korea, but the position issued in person is written in English.
When the case became known to the outside world and the possibility of Kim Joo-hyung's referral to the reward and punishment committee was raised, the KPGA had no plan" made a statement. However, it is not that the committee will not be held at all. In a phone call with Sports Chosun, a KPGA official said, `We will first figure out the exact circumstances and then review whether to hold a reward and punishment committee.' We will make a decision on the relevant matter soon."
