Can I use 110V devices in Korea?

Answer status
ONLY WITH A CONVERTER OR DUAL-VOLTAGE

Quick answer

Korea uses 220 V at 60 Hz with two-round-hole outlets. Phone chargers that say 100–240 V work with only a plug adapter, but a 110 V-only device needs a voltage converter.

What you should know

  • The standard voltage in Korea is 220 volts at 60 hertz, and outlets have two round holes.
  • Adapters are sold at hotels, airports, retail stores and convenience stores.
  • A device marked only 110–120 V can be damaged on 220 V without a converter.

What you need

  • •A plug adapter for two round pins
  • •A voltage converter for 110 V-only devices

Common mistakes

  • •Plugging a hair dryer or iron rated only for 110 V straight into a Korean outlet
