Common questions
Do I need a plug adapter from Australia to South Korea?
Yes. South Korea uses Type C/F sockets, which Australia plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.

South Korea runs at 220V, 60Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
