However, on August 29, 2010, it was announced that the South Korean Hiking Federation, after examining the proofs presented by Oh, had refused to acknowledge her Kangchenjunga ascent, accepting the sherpas' version according to which Oh was not able to complete the ascent due to bad weather conditions.
Međutim, 29. kolovoza 2010., objavljeno je da Južnokorejska planinarska federacija, nakon razmatranja dokaza koje je predstavila Oh, odbila priznati njezin uspon na vrh Kangchenjunga, prihvaćajući verziju Šerpa prema kojoj Oh nije bila u mogućnosti dovršiti uspon zbog loših vremenskih uvjeta.
