What's available

Amazon Prime Video is fully available in South Korea with a solid library of both local and international content. You get access to Amazon Originals like The Boys, Reacher, Rings of Power, Jack Ryan, and Fallout. Korean content is a genuine strength here — titles like Moving, The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil, and Desperado are available. Popular films including Air, Road House (2024), and select Marvel and DC licensed titles also appear in the catalog.

What you're missing

Compared to the US library, the South Korean catalog has notable gaps. You won't find licensed titles like Succession (which streams on Prime Video in some regions), certain BBC co-productions, or a large portion of the US's licensed movie catalog. Titles such as Doctor Who series, several Paramount-licensed films, and older studio deals that filled the US library simply don't carry over. Sports content through Prime Video, including Thursday Night Football, is also completely unavailable to you in South Korea.

How to access other regions

To unlock the US or UK Amazon Prime Video library, you'll need a VPN. A VPN masks your real location by routing your traffic through a server in another country, making Amazon think you're browsing from that region.

  • Connect to a US server to access the American library
  • Connect to a UK server for BBC co-productions and British exclusives
  • Our top recommendation is NordVPN — it reliably bypasses Amazon's geo-blocks and offers fast streaming speeds with servers optimized for video
  • After connecting, log into your existing Prime Video account and the regional library loads automatically

Pricing

Amazon Prime Video in South Korea is available as part of an Amazon Prime membership, currently priced at approximately ₩6,900 per month or ₩69,000 per year. A standalone Prime Video subscription may be offered at a lower rate. Pricing is subject to change, so check the Amazon Korea website for the latest figures before subscribing.

Our recommendation

Amazon Prime Video is worth subscribing to in South Korea, especially if you enjoy Amazon Originals and Korean content — both are genuinely strong here. However, if you want the full library, including US licensed films and sports, pair your subscription with NordVPN and connect to a US server. You get significantly more value without paying anything extra beyond your VPN plan.
