    I don't have the answer for sure, but i cut it down to Boxing or Baseball. I cannot find evidence to back up either though. So, if you have evidence, it would be appreciated.

    I am not surprised its Baseball, once heard an american screenwriter say that baseball connected with the American audience better than any other sport.

    Surely Kung Fu. There has to be at least a billion Kung Fu films.

    I can only think of one or one pure Korean baseball movie. What ones did you watch? They also have a running movie, ski jumping, table tennis, ice hockey, soccer. Thats all the Korean ones i can think of.

    Overall I'd say American football maybe.
