South Korean DVDs
 

I was not sure who to ask about this but I thought the 'Drome could enlighten me. I have three DVDs manufactured in South Korea yet are exactly like a DVD you and I would buy at Wal-Mart, Target, etc. The DVD itself is just like it is supposed to be with one difference. On the spine of the box by itself and on the front box serving like a subtitle the title is written in korean language. I bought my DVD copy of The Dark Knight(2008 ) at Ollie's Outlet. I did not realize it until after I bought and was filing it away. I also bought It’s A Wonderful Life(1946) and recently The Searchers(1956) from an Ebay seller who sells mint DVDs for a great price from South Korea. What is the legal status of these especially since one was sold in an oulet store? Its a traditional DVD yet it's not a pirated copy. Any information on this non-traditional yet seemingly legal South Korean based market. I have read something about a 'gray market' and I was wondering what it is and if the three DVDs are examples of it. Thanks.

I would think they most likely are in fact bootlegs.
