https://cmc-pictures.com/home-coming/ has cinema release dates for Northern America, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Macau, the Netherlands and Cambodia so far.
MUBI has licensed it and released it direct to VOD in some countries with subs in English, German and Turkish: https://mubi.com/films/one-second
I read that NEON licensed it for Northern America but I can’t see it listed at https://neonrated.com/films so I don’t know what’s happening with it there.
For other countries, you can see if https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/575089-one-second/watch shows any options. Or search for the country name in English and “One Second” and “Zhang Yimou” and see if there’s any news about which distributor has licensed it for the country.
All episodes will be broadcast with official English subs on satellite and cable TV starting on 16 October and available on demand after the broadcasts: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/drama_blanks/
NHK WORLD–JAPAN doesn't allow downloading, but will broadcast the drama on satellite and cable and make it available to stream on demand online for a year afterwards: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/drama_blanks/
Cinemas – or "movie theatres", if you're American. It's a theatrical movie and it was only premiered too recently to be on home video anywhere yet. There are some national release dates listed at https://namu.wiki/w/외계%2B인%201부 but that's probably not all of them, and it has also been selected for many festivals. E.g., it will open the London Korean Film Festival soon.
Really wished that this got released in my countryㅠㅠ now hoping it gets ott release soon…
Even though it premiered over a year before, it's only been getting national releases since this summer – https://namu.wiki/w/비상선언 lists those that have already been announced – so it could still get cinema releases in several more countries announced in the future. Here's hoping.
https://namu.wiki/w/비상선언 lists the national release dates for several countries, and it's also been getting selected to play in festivals in other countries.
That date is wrong because Viki still shows it as “coming soon”.
According to https://kisskh.at/discussions/support/17285-guidelines-editing-and-submitting-new-dramas-movies-and-actors "If it was released at a film festival, use that date as not to restrict the ability to mark the title as finished for people who watched it at the festival." so the date should be the date of the public premiere: in this case, 16 July 2021, when it premiered in Cannes, even though it wasn't released nationally anywhere till over a year a later, let alone when it's available on Viki.
In my opinion, it should be called "Premiere:", not "Release Date:", because the former is what it actually is and it would result in less confusion if the name were accurate.

NHK are putting quite a few of their dramas on NHK WORLD–JAPAN a few months later, recently: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/dramashowcase/
