Buy a power plug (travel) adapter

Voltage converter needed in South Korea?
The standard voltage in South Korea (220 V) matches more or less the voltage level your devices typically operate at in Hungary (230 V). Manufacturers take these small deviations into account. But be aware that the frequency in South Korea differs.
- You don't need a voltage converter in South Korea.
- Be careful with the difference in frequency.
To be sure, check the label on your devices. Some devices never need a converter. If the label states 'INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz' the device can be used in every country in the world. This is common for devices with chargers like tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc. For these devices you will only need a power plug adapter.
