Hello, Korean universities really don’t care about sports and extracurriculars, and even US institutions, extracurriculars/sports matters in undergraduate admissions, but not for graduate degrees. The good news is that Korean universities are not as competitive for international students, and I’m sure you will have an easier time getting scholarships compared to other countries. Graduate Scholarships for Excellent Foreign Students is available at Seoul National University, and you should apply to other less competitive scholarships in Korea as well. Try searching our best scholarships in Korea and go through our Korea Scholarships Database. I’m not sure what your GPA looks like, but Korean universities are a lot easier to get into for international students.
