Notes
  • Videos should include spoken Korean and/or Korean subtitles
  • The :abc: icon is only for real subs, it doesnโ€™t include auto-generated subtitles
  • Availability may vary by region. For example, KBS World TV uploads full drama episodes to their channel, but they canโ€™t be viewed in Korean or the US
  • Iโ€™ve tried to keep channel titles in alphabetical order, with the exception of ํ•œ๊ธ€ titles 'cause I donโ€™t know my ๊ฐ€๋‚˜๋‹คโ€™s :woman_shrugging:
  • General Kpop channels are okay, but channels for specific groups are only really of interest to fans and are easy to find

This is now a wiki, feel free to add your recommendations directly to the list above.

Donโ€™t ask me why (I donโ€™t know) but for awhile I was watching Korean hair stylist videos with Japanese subtitles. They also have Korean hard subs, but since I canโ€™t read Korean, I can ignore them :sweat_smile:

There were a handful of channels like this but Iโ€™m having trouble surfacing them in my watched history :frowning:

Just discovered a Korean booktuber whoโ€™s vids look really good, and most of the recent ones include Korean subtitles! :heart_eyes:

I like her fashion sense, too. :smile:
