An interview with Yoon Seo-jun, Technical Development Director, Incheon Thunderbolt
I’m not going to answer that.
The Team’s position remains that we do not comment on development or deployment of the Choi Method. What’s public knowledge is public knowledge and we see no need to go further than that.
Yes. Similarly we are not commenting further on Ms. Choi’s departure beyond our initial statement. We’re in constant communication with the Choi family, and, during the first two years, offered them all the support we could during that difficult time.
I’m not going to answer that.
I’m not going to answer that.
Yes, I’d say we were proud of Ms. Choi. Proud, at times. She was a visionary. And sometimes — no, no, I’ll be fine, they can ask this — I think we can all agree that the clarity of someone’s vision can mean their intentions get a little muddled. I’m sure Ms. Choi had only the best in mind when she made the Method public knowledge, but the fact remains that we’re in the business of winning.
I’m not going to answer that.
I can’t comment on whether the Method has been altered or improved in recent years. I can draw your attention to Thunderbolt pit times. I think we’re all very proud of our research divisions.
Yes, well, these things are difficult. There’ll always be a cost to — no, let me finish —— and Ms. Choi made things harder for us. In that sense. If everybody has the same tools. If every improvement to the machinery that could be made, has been made. So I think it’s a natural progression to start thinking beyond the metal, as far as the Method’s concerned. It’s a competitive imperative to start thinking beyond the metal.
Right. So we’ve been — yes. Exactingly.
