Travel adapter from Solomon Islands to South Korea
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Solomon Islands, you will need a travel adapter for South Korea. Solomon Islands uses Type I plugs, and South Korea uses Type C/Type F, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (50 Hz vs 60 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
