From Antigua and Barbuda to South Korea
When travelling from Antigua and Barbuda to South Korea: None of your Antigua and Barbuda plug types fit in South Korea. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (110V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 60Hz.

About electricity in South Korea
South Korea uses 230V/60Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets. European plugs at North American frequency.
Grid & history
South Korea’s grid is unusual: 230V European voltage with 60Hz American frequency. Coal and gas dominate, with growing nuclear (KEPCO operates a major fleet) and rapid solar expansion.
Availability
Excellent.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is now standard in modern buildings. Type C plugs fit. The country switched from 110V to 220V/230V over the 1980s–2000s, so very old buildings may still have remnants.
Energy mix
Coal still significant; renewables growing.
Practical tips
- A small Type C/F European adapter is all you need.
- Voltage is 230V. Phone and laptop chargers are fine; some older 110V-only Korean appliances exist but are rare.
- Frequency is 60Hz, unlike most 230V countries, generally irrelevant for travel electronics.
