At least in What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim they had the characters attending an American high school or college (I can’t remember which) while showing them suited up for it. Doesn’t Extraordinary You also have the kids in American football uniform sometimes, too? I know I’ve seen it more than a couple of times. It’s so silly.
Maybe it has to do with the aggressiveness associated with it? Cause baseball is also a pretty American sport that is actually played in Korea yet less popular than soccer (I think)
I think it’s because it’s very American and people have to pay to have those uniforms. They are elite students, so I guess badminton will not support their ‘supposed’ look.

Yes, Extraordinary You was especially egregious, but at least it was only one scene. This takes it to a new ridiculous level.

It is so specifically American, that is why it is weird. Soccer exists, but American football, lol. Smh.

But soccer is already pretty famous in Korea. There is nothing really different with it. I hoped he will continue the fencing.
