In South Korea today, it is very uncommon to find Taekwondo schools with any students over the age of 14. You can visit Dojangs for a week and never see an adult student. That said, if you find a school with adults, no one will question your black belt. Black Belt in Korea has a very different meaning than the rest of the world. Black Belts in Korea are quite common and everyone will assume if you say you are a Dan holder, then you are one.

Most Taekwondoin (Taekwondo People) in S. Korea have no idea what ITF, or Gen. Choi is. Most don't even know what a Kwan was.

The only problem you would have is if you wanted to attend the "Jidoja Yunsu-won" or Leadership Academy at Kukkiwon. You would need a Kukkiwon Dan for that. But, that is no problem as anyone with an ITF Dan can request "assimiable Dan transfer" and change their ITF, or like organization Dan over to a Kukkiwon Dan.

That being said, there are two main gyms in Seoul for adults and foreigners. Sang Rok Gym in Shin-wol 3 Dong, and the Foreigners Gymnasium at Itaewon. Currently at Sang Rok Gym, there is an ITF Dan holder in training and he is very comfortable and happy there.

If you need the addresses and contact information for these, let me know.
