Looking for Chung Do Kwan dojangs in South Carolina

Hello everyone; my first official posting.

My post is basically what my title says. I started off in Tae Kwon Do MANY years ago as a teenager. I don't know what style of TKD I was studying. But, the forms were the Chung Do Kwan forms.

Years later in my begging university/college years, the 4th martial arts school i trained at was a Chung Do Kwan school. My Sabunim TKD lineage goes to a school in North Carolina. Unfortunately, i never asked him specifically what school & instructor he trained under. Another unfortunate thing, i had to stop training with him because my university class schedule got really hectic and I was switching between different jobs at the university regional campus i was a student at to a smaller college in the same town as my regional campus.

By the time my work & school schedule calmed down, my Sabumnin had retired from teaching. He had already retired several years before hand; this was in the mid 2000s.

After that, I started training at a WTF TKD dojang in the same town as the colleges. After I few months, I had to stop training there because I was moved to a full-time worker at the smaller college i was working at due to the major projects in the division I was working in.

Over the years, I have wanted to get back into training, but I want to do it at a Chung Do Kwan dojang. The reason why is that im a 3rd Gup Red belt. At the time i had to stop training, it was near testing and I likely wouldve moved up to 2nd Gup.

As far as I knew of, there were only 2 Chung Do Kwan instructors in South Carolina-my instructor and the instructor of our sister dojang. Ive tried searching online over the years. As I have read in many posts in this Subreddit, the closed to finding Chung Do Kwan schools in South Carolina, is the Chung Do Kwan association in North Carolina. When ibe checked for associated schools in South Carolina, there has never been any.

So, I'm a bit stuck. My instructor has never spoke of being a part of any larger Chung Do Kwn or ITF TKD association. And with my instructor never saying what Chung Fo Kwan school he trained at, I have no idea if the North Carolina Chung Do Kwan association is the one the school he trained at is associated with. Ive also checked other Chung Do Kwan associations in the United States, but none on their websites have had a school in South Carolina.

Any assistance to point me in a direction is appreciated.
