The heyday of Korean basketball of the 1990s is reviving through dramas.

All three programs, Cable channel tvN drama "Basketball," "Reply 1994," and and KBS 2TV entertainment program "Our Neighborhood Varsity Sports," have basketball as the main subject, inducing the audience to slowly gain interest in basketball as well.

"Basketball" is based on a real story of the 1948 national basketball team. The 1948 team was the first and the last team to participate in the Olympics representing Korea, before Korea was divided into the North and the South. 

In "Reply 1994," basketball is the main character Sung Na Jung's (Ko Ah Ra) favorite sports. She's also a great fan of the Yeonsei University basketball team's star player, Lee Sang Min.

"Our Neighborhood Varsity Sports" started the basketball episodes starting on October 15. In addition to former basketball players, celebrities who love and are good at basketball play together for every episode. In addition, KBS 2TV's "Start Dream Team" also finished recording the basketball episode.
