If I Were Seinfeld DVDs, Where Would I Be?

by Robert Koehler on August 4, 2008

A reader requests:

Long story short, does anyone know where or who may have some Sienfeld DVDs. In Seoul, Korea?

I have no idea. Anybody know?

1 funkseoulbro August 4, 2008 at 5:23 pm: they sell some used one at technomart…gangbyun station…line number 2 in seoul…8th floor i believe…a bunch of shops there
2 Thirsty August 4, 2008 at 5:24 pm: I think i have seen them in the DVD store by the CGV at Yongsan Mall.
(5th or 6th Floor).

Failing that there is a book store, they name of which escapes me, in the underpass near the Lotte Dept stores. As i cant remember the name, the underpass opens out into a circular area, the bookstore is off one of hte spokes from this and they also have a DVD store in there with a decent range of US TV collections. Maybe someone can recall the name of the place?

5 Tristan August 4, 2008 at 5:46 pm: I have some Seinfeld dvds. However, I bought them in China and it’s not the best quality. There are like 5 seasons here. lol
6 Crackus August 4, 2008 at 6:06 pm: Guaranteed they are sold at the Yongsan PX.
7 funkseoulbro August 4, 2008 at 6:09 pm: Also worthy of note: Jerry Seinfeld in Season 2 of “30 Rock”. You can catch the full episode and most of season 2 on streaming video on nbc.com

Link is below…but you need to find the icon of Jerry Seinfeld’s face on the right side. The episode is great…Enjoy

9 Bipolar Mindscrew August 4, 2008 at 6:13 pm: Kyobo Online (kyobobook.com) is selling Vol 1 (Season 1+2), Vol 2 and others for only 20,000 won each…

Almost as cheap as the dvd-r guys, eh?
10 sanshinseon August 4, 2008 at 8:05 pm: Kyobo Bookstore Gwanghwamun has a lot of those American TV shows DVD-sets. The ones popular in Korea, at least…

Cross the large covered bridge overlooking the railway tracks and I think you’ll enter the Bus Terminal building. (See #2 on the map link.) They sell a large number around this building.

If you want more DVD’s cross the parking lot and there are other vendors selling them. Out of container boxes (no kidding) They are located in front of 선인상가21동 again on the map provided above.

The price is 10,000 won for a season box set and they usually give you a bonus disc of your choice to boot. ALWAYS check the surface of EACH DVD for schmegma on the surface. They also have T.V.s and DVD players there and I usually ask to view them because I need subtittles. These guys often promise subtitles and they don’t deliver so don’t feel guilty about checking the goods.

Each vendor usually has a catalogue of every series available. Individual movies are usually 4 for 10,000 won.

14 Chris August 4, 2008 at 10:57 pm: @12 Kudos dude. I got my entire Dr. Who, including the latest there. Primo quality, and I did see Seinfeld in the catalogue. Also, quite an awesome Pojangmacha there – Enjoy.
15 Scott August 5, 2008 at 12:06 am: While we’re on this subject…does anyone know where to order blu ray or even just plain DvDs with Korean subtitles on the internet?

I’m trying to find a place that’ll ship back to the States.

Here’s a legal way you can get Seinfeld:
