JAKARTA The split between Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo and Herry Iman Pierngadi or Herry IP has been resolved by PBSI. Now both of them have undergone training together.

Herry IP confirmed that at a press conference, Friday, September 30. The exercise marked the end of the friction between them after PBSI took a family mediation path.

"This morning I had training together and there were no problems. Geses are normal because the media is caught, so they are fried. Actually, it's normal," said the coach nicknamed the Dragon of Fire.

Relations between Kevin and Herry IP have heated up in the past week following a war of statements in the media. Reportedly, the two began to be tenuous as the Indonesia Open 2022 in June.

Kevin on one occasion said that his relationship with Herry IP was difficult to recover. He even had time to confirm that he could no longer work with the coach.

The issue was then investigated by PBSI for the mediation process. Kevin said he was sorry for what has been reported recently.

"Good afternoon, first of all, I'm sorry what happened. We talked and we met to solve this problem. From the side, I want to apologize if I made a mistake and so on," he said.

PBSI General Chair Agung Firman Sampurna said the dispute between Kevin and Herry IP was not a big problem. Conflicts in the organization are considered commonplace.

"We called them, we chatted from heart to heart. One meeting was over. During the last week we worked and received information that the problem was not big, but a little communication problem and not their fault too," said Agung.

"Maybe there was fatigue, expression of disappointment. Unfortunately, I happened to be disappointed that I was accidentally explored. I just met you, took you to eat. Everything was finished," he added.
