Expelled from the Oh Do Kwan? Hmmmm. What is your source for this info? I know GM Son "expelled" him and others from the Chung Do Kwan in an infamous newspaper ad whic seemingly lead to GM Son's leaving the Chung Do Kwan shortly thereafter only to have the others who he purportedly expelled not only remain but one succeeeded him as president.

There is no doubt that as the political winds changed direction in Korea General Choi was no longer in a favored position and was made an ambassador.

But the "expulsion" term with regard to the Oh Do Kwan I have not seen before so I would like to know from whence it came.
Last year while visiting Taekwondo Oh Do Kwan - Kwan Bon Bu (HQ), I heard he was expelled directly from Taekwondo Oh Do Kwan seniors, including the current president. As Choi was about to leave S. Korea for Canada, the Oh Do Kwan distanced themselves from him.
