The Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC, 게임물등급위원회) is the South Korean video game content rating board. A governmental organization, the GRAC rates video and computer games to inform customers of the nature of game contents.
Initially, the Korea Media Rating Board, a governmental organization, rated video and computer games just like other entertainment media. However, a controversy occurred because the Korea Media Rating Board rated a gambling game called Sea Story as if it were suitable for everyone, allegedly due to a bribe. The Korean government got through the controversy by creating the GRAC in 2006; it is now the only rating organization for video games.
Ratings
Four rating are used by GRB:
All: Games that everyone can play.
12-year +: Games that under 12 cannot play.
15-year +: Games that under 15 cannot play.
Teenager restricted: Games that teenager (under 18) cannot play.
Test: Game is under analysis for rating.
PC, console, online and mobile games use all ratings, but arcade games use only 'All' and 'Teenager restricted'.
