There's a lot of interest in South Korean Netflix, and it's not difficult to see why.

South Korean Netflix offers access to a long list of popular Korean dramas, alongside 109 Oscar-winning films and the highest number of Emmy-winning titles offered by Netflix's global libraries, according to a survey by Surfshark. With all of this in mind, it's clear why so many Netflix subscribers are trying to access this stacked library.

If you attempt to sign in to South Korean Netflix from outside the country, you will be quickly blocked by the service. Fortunately, you can get around this blockade with a streaming-friendly VPN. These popular services can hide your real IP address and connect you to a server in South Korea. This tricks Netflix into thinking you're based there, meaning you get watch all the content that is normally locked to the location. The process is quick and easy, and significantly expands your selection of shows and movies:

  1. Sign up for a streaming-friendly VPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in South Korea

  4. Sign in to Netflix

  5. Watch your favourite shows and movies from the South Korean Netflix library

ExpressVPN is the best service for streaming due to its universal unblocking of streaming sites Netflix and Prime Video, strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, helpful live support, and five simultaneous connections. ExpressVPN also has a robust privacy policy, so your data is always secure.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £81.38, saving you 49% on list price. This annual plan includes an extra three months of coverage and a year of unlimited cloud backup from Backblaze for free. Subscribers also get a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can recover your cash if you're not satisfied. You can even use the money-back guarantee to unlock your favourite South Korean show and then recoup your investment at a later date, but you didn't hear that from us.

With this trick you can unblock and watch South Korean Netflix for free with ExpressVPN.
