What's available
Paramount+ launched in South Korea with a solid selection of content, primarily through its partnership with local platforms. You get access to flagship Paramount originals like Yellowstone, 1883, Tulsa King, and Mayor of Kingstown. Paramount's classic film library is also available, including titles from the Mission: Impossible franchise, Top Gun: Maverick, and select Transformers films. CBS reality staples like Survivor and The Challenge round out the offering for unscripted fans.
What you're missing
Compared to the US library, South Korean subscribers miss out on quite a bit. The full Star Trek franchise — including Strange New Worlds, Picard, and Discovery — is either absent or heavily restricted. You also lose access to the complete SpongeBob SquarePants catalog, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles content, and Nickelodeon originals. Sports coverage via CBS Sports and NFL content is unavailable. Films like Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and several Paramount theatrical releases appear on a significant delay or not at all in the Korean library.
How to access other regions
A VPN lets you change your virtual location so Paramount+ thinks you're browsing from another country. To access the full US library, connect your VPN to a United States server, then open Paramount+ and log in as normal. The platform will serve you the American catalog instead of the regional one.
Our top recommendation is NordVPN. It offers fast, reliable US servers that consistently unblock Paramount+, and its large server network means you can always find a working connection. NordVPN also works on smart TVs, mobile devices, and desktop — covering all the ways you might watch.
Pricing
Paramount+ in South Korea is available through select partnerships, and pricing can vary depending on the bundle or carrier deal. Standalone subscriptions are approximately ₩7,900–₩9,900 per month, though promotional rates are common. Check the current Paramount+ Korea page for the most up-to-date pricing before subscribing.
Our recommendation
If you're in South Korea and want to get the most out of Paramount+, pairing your subscription with NordVPN is the smartest move. The local library gives you strong original dramas and select blockbusters, but the US catalog is significantly deeper. By connecting to a US server through NordVPN, you unlock the full Star Trek lineup, complete Nickelodeon content, and a much larger film selection — making your subscription genuinely worth the monthly cost.
