The research focused on the organization, activities, budget, and sport activities in order to review the sport activities of Hakwoohoe in Japan(HWHJ). As a result, the following can be concluded. HWHJ was a group organized after Daehanhunghakhoe which unified various groups of Korean students in Japan that had separated or merged prior to October, 1912. The organization of the HWHJ was run by staffs and each executive member, while the whole members participated in the general meeting and decided important issues. The activities of the HWHJ included sports competitions, out matches to Korea, newsletter publication and conferences for discussion and speech contests. Funds were collected by membership fees and sales profits from newsletter. In April of 1920, a special meeting of the executive committee decided to establish a soccer team, tennis team, and field and track team under the Athletic Dpartment. The goal of foreign matches in Korea was to inspire athleticism among Koreans under Japanese control at that time, and also to enhance the quality of sports in Korea.
