YMCA Baseball Team YMCA 야구단

About

YMCA Baseball Team (Korean: YMCA 야구단; RR: YMCA yagudan) is a 2002 South Korean comedy film written and directed by Kim Hyun-seok, starring Song Kang-ho and Kim Hye-soo. In 1905, there was a confluence of international events leading to the loss of Chosŏn Korean sovereignty, and by 1910, Japan formally annexed Korea outright. The Japanese, having already defeated Qing China (1895) and signed an alliance with the United Kingdom (1902), defeated Imperial Russia (1905), and came to an understanding with the United States (the Taft-Katsura Agreement of 1905) to respect each other's colonial "Spheres of Influence" in the Pacific. In these chaotic times, an eclectic group of Koreans find refuge in the quintessentially American pastime.
