It means the individual has achieved that level of competancy for the Korean Martial Art, Tang Soo Do. That is the style the Chuck Norris got his black belt in!
The Phung Ahn Kata of Tang Soo Do were developed from the Heinan Kata of Shotokan Karate. The Heinan Kata of Shotokan were based on the Pinan Kata of Okinawan Karate. The Pinan Kata were created about 1915 by Anko Itosu, one of the most influential karate-ka in history. He and Gichan Funikoshi (founder of Shotokan) were students of Bushi Matsumora.
There isn't a purple belt. - I believe it's 4th? At least it is in Yi's Martial Arts with 10 gups. The Tang Soo Do school I trained at didn't have a purple belt.
There is no actual known founder of the Korean martial art Tang Soo Do, however the name for the art of Tang Soo Do was adopted by Hwang Kee, the person who founded Moo Duk Kwan.
The origin of Tang Soo Do can not be traced to any single person or year. Lee Won Kuk the founder of the Chung Do Kwan school was credited as the first person to teach Tang Soo Do in Korea. Most Tang Soo Do stylist however can trace their lineage back to Hwang Kee and his Moo Duk Kwan school founded on November 9, 1945.
Seo Kwan-Soo was born on 1980-02-25.

They are both striking arts. Tang Soo Do is a Korean based form. Until recently most of the kata could be clearly traced through Japan to Okinawa and Shorin Ryu Karate. Much of the Tang Soo Do schools have converted into the Taekwondo styles. Chuck Norris originally learned Tang Soo Do.
Tang Soo Do is not a very soft, flowing style. Most of the moves are crisp and hard.
