PHOENIX – If Ha Na Jang wins the JTBC Founders Cup this week, she won’t be unveiling any celebratory moves.
Jang’s Beyonce victory dance after winning the HSBC Women’s Champions in Singapore 10 days ago created a backlash in South Korea that has inflamed a controversy that continues to linger between Jang and reigning U.S. Women’s Open champion In Gee Chun back in their homeland.
Jang wiped away tears Tuesday at the Founders Cup after explaining how she didn’t intend to offend anyone with the dance and that she is remorseful over circumstances that have pitted her against Chun in a Korean media firestorm.
