Philippe Entremont caused controversy when he gave Seong-Jin Cho, the winner of the competition, a score of just 1 in the final, the lowest possible score. This was a substantial deviation from the other jurors; 14 of the 17 jurors gave Cho 9 or more points, leading to speculation that Entremont had trouble with Cho's teacher Michel Béroff.[6] A popular conjecture that Entremont may have been racially motivated could not be proven by statistical analysis.[7]
