Nothing there about teaching systems other than KKW being illegal. Try again.

What does affiliating with a black listed person in a dictatorship mean to you if not illegality?

Doesn't mean anything. Cite a law, kid.

I guess simply treason. Why make it difficult

Well, no, the Kukkiwon was founded by the KTA after they secured quite a lot of funding from both the government and the private sector.
The South Korean government has endorsed the KTA, and as such the Kukkiwon flavor of TKD is by far the most common in South Korea, but I don't think it's illegal to teach non-Kukkiwon TKD. As I recall, the South Korean government now basically controls the Kukkiwon, but that is a relatively recent development.
I don't know what you mean by "founded by order" to be honest.

Definitely not. Most of the Kwans still exist in limited form. Mostly historically and recreationally.

So now you're claiming that teaching ITF TKD in South Korea is treason? Seriously?
Come on, kid. Citation or retraction is the way to go here...

No, old man. To align back then with General Choi was tantamount to treason.

I don't know if their instructors speak English. I can try asking any questions for them in Korean if it helps, but I'm only an advanced-intermediate/lower-advanced.

Does being TPOM mean so much to you that you are happy to repeatedly make yourself look utterly stupid? Because you are doing a Great job.

I won't do your homework for you. It's embarassing how you did not know that.

In other words, you have no support for your claims. That's pretty much what I expected.

I took taekwondo since I was a teenager in the USA. Now, I take karate with sensei for about 9 years. I am a red belt in karate atm. Thanks for the support!
