If you're looking for sites loaded with streaming media (of Korean dramas, movies, etc.) then I can give you a list of 20+ sites that do exactly that. well streaming video and DVDs are two different animals to tackle (imho). If you're not sure, then find a Korean-owned shop that rents Korean DVDs (lots of them do) and/or go online and watch several episodes there first. But this option is rather expensive, especially if you just want to "try out" some programs and aren't sure if you'll be interested in it. Just because they have English, Japanese, and Thai subtitles, it does not mean that there will also be Korean too.
Beware though! American-made DVDs always list the foreign subtitles, even though English subtitles is always another option. Their product descriptions tell you if there are subtitles available. If you're in the U.S., you can always go to (or a similar site). The best thing about this option is that it's a) ridiculously inexpensive, and b) if the vendor was wrong about the subtitles, you can always bring them back and swap them out for something else. Otherwise, they'll just see a foreigner and point you toward the American TV programs. You'll probably have to ask them to see the Korean movies and TV programs. You want the vendors in the row of green stalls (ahead of you and across the street, to the right). Just make sure you're not stopping at any of the other DVD/CD vendors on the short walk from the building to the next street - they're nothing. They also cater to foreigners and all speak passable English. They know their product pretty well and should be able to tell you which ones have Korean and/or English subtitles. There's a row of green stalls where vendors sell DVDs (ahead of you and off to the right). Go down to the ground floor of that building and exit, then go straight ahead toward the busy intersection. If you go to Yongsan station (not the track/platforms, but the actual station/terminal on the 3rd floor) and go out Exit #3 you'll find a walkway that takes you across the tracks into one of the buildings of the Electronics Market.
If you're in Seoul, I would go to the DVD vendors at the Electronics Market (전자상가) near Yongsan station. I can't answer your question directly, but I can give you two leads.
