Ireland to South Korea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Getting ready for your journey from Ireland to South Korea? Electrical compatibility is easy to overlook, but bringing the wrong plug or forgetting an adapter can leave you scrambling at your hotel. Here's what you need to know.

Your Ireland plugs (Type G) won't fit South Korea's outlets (Type C, F). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for South Korea before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in South Korea (220V, 60Hz) are close to Ireland (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Most modern phone chargers, laptop adapters, and camera chargers are designed to handle 100-240V input, so they'll work anywhere with just a plug adapter. Heat-producing appliances like hair dryers and flat irons are often single-voltage, so check before you plug them in abroad.
