Yup. They have a different conception of "age appropriate" in Korea. I have a student who is 11 years old, and his favourite film is The Thing.

To be fair, The Thing is an excellent movie
The Thing is more an existential horror movie rather than a gore or jumpscare based movie.
Still not something I'd show to a child, but there's definitely worse out there.
How so? Like, is the content super gritty in South Korea? Is the EULA super fucked-up there? Does it cost an arm and a leg? Is it unavailable without a VPN? Something else entirely? All of the above?
It's the content. In the US, it's mostly animated movies, Star Wars, and Marvel. In Korea, there's also horror, gritty thrillers, violence, etc.
That’s just on Hulu in the US.
Oh, man!
Is this because in the US a big chunk of Disney IP is on Hulu?
Probably. In Canada there's no Hulu, so all the fox catalog ended up on Disney+.
That makes a lot of sense. I have been confused why they insist on selling Disney + and Hulu as a bundle without the option to separate. Now I know, it’s fake value.
