Korean adaptor to work here

I Recently bought some electronics from Korea, and wanted to know what kind of adaptor or converter I need? Well it's going to be used here in aus. But wanted to make sure this is the right thing that I'm gonna be paying. Thanks.

    the top item in your link would be ok

    I remembered I was able to use my appliances in korea so the voltages should be about the same

    I wondered what the heck an adaptor does, because it sounded like an employment wanted ad.

    Be careful because (south) Korea runs on 60Hz, and Australia is 50Hz. There is no (sensible) way to convert this, so make sure than anything you use is rated to work on 50Hz.

      Agreed. That being said, most electronics are rated for both. But you still have to be alert.

      The bigger concern are the appliances that have motors. Less of them are rated for both.
