From South Korea to Germany
When travelling from South Korea to Germany: Good news: all your South Korea plug types fit in Germany. Voltage is different (220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
