Complaint Review: Hong's USA TaeKwonDo/Soon Pil Hong

WARNING! Be vary wary of this business and this person. His name is Soon Pil Hong, aka Philip Hong, aka Dr. Hong,aka Master Hong. This man is a fraud and he is very good at it. He will talk you into signing a contract. By law, you have 3 days to change your mind, but when you contact him, he will say, "no problem" and make you think it's cancelled until you get a notice to pay.

Once the 3 days are up, you are locked in and can't do anything about it. He is very manipulative and greedy. Just an example: he charges $400 for a test that costs him under $100. He will do anything to lie, cheat and steal your money.

He is a violent man, and has been jailed for his domestic violence. Would you take your child there? He will not follow through on promises. He charged people $1800 to go to Korea, it was supposed to be all inclusive with a 5 star hotel and sightseeing. Everyone had to share rooms and most had to sleep on the floor - there wasn't even an elevator in this hotel and it had 4 floors. He even jipped a teen age boy out of his black belt, by not giving it to him after he passed his test flawlessly (and paying his $400 by the way). He is not who he claims - his belts were bought and paid for, not earned by testing. BEWARE!
