Amoti, on the other hand, was also unhappy with the suspicion of manipulation. Amoti said "I went to a sauna with Dong-hyun and there was a Japanese player. I was talking in the sauna and he said what's the next mission. When I said 'I don't know', he tried to dig at us because you all know. I really don't know.
