There are two concerns when using electricity abroad:

  1. Plug type. The outlets and plugs are physically different in other countries. While the US uses two vertical parallel prongs and an optional round ground pin below, most of Europe and Asia, including South Korea, uses two round prongs.

  2. Voltage. The US supplies 110V electricity. South Korea supplies 220V. Many common small devices like your razor or phone charger will accept either, but check the plug or device to be sure. If it says 110-240V, you'll be fine anywhere. If it's only 110 or 120V, you'll need a voltage converter when traveling to 220V countries.

    Either way, Amazon is your friend. If all you need is a simple plug adapter (just converts the plug shape, with NO voltage conversion), there are worldwide adapters for under $5:

    If you need a voltage converter as well, those are a little more expensive because they actually have some electronics inside. But are still quite affordable, under $15:

Your problem is that most people (and a lot of websites) think that a plug adapter is the same as a voltage converter. The plug adapter only changes the shape of the pins so you can plug it into the wall, but the voltage coming through will not be converted.

Your phones can handle a wide range of voltages, but other devices (hair straighteners/blow dryers are a common one that causes problems for some people) can only handle the ones they were designed for, and your country uses 110V, so those devices will need a converter to convert the 220V socket voltage to something that your device can use. This is, of course, in addition to an adapter.

There are some combination devices out there, and the converter will likely look like a large rectangle similar to the box on the end of your phone charger.

This is the kit we used when we were in Italy: Powerline Global Power kit (voltage converter as well as adapters). Another person had a Simran 1875, I think.
