I need help! Has anyone successfully registered for the Kukkiwon Membership System? If so, how long does it typically take?
We have students who'll be ready to test for 1st dan in the next 4-6 months (and I'm eligible for my 3rd soon as well), so I've been trying to get our registration set up. I've submitted an application on their website for an individual recommender (for Mr WaterGal, who's a 5th dan) 4 times since June, and still haven't received any confirmation or information from them. I even tried e-mailing one of the staff members listed on the KMS "About" page last week to follow up, and haven't got a reply.
Does it normally take a few months for the registration to go through and I'm just being impatient? Or are we having an unusually hard time, and I should stay persistant and try calling Korea? I've never called Kukkiwon before, do they have people answering the phones who speak English?
I appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks!
