You know that brick-like apparition in the middle of your power cable?
Read it.
(Or, for the shorter-but-less-pompously-arrogant-and-therefore-arguably-less-interesting answer:)
No. You can just buy a 500 won plug adaptor. |

I voted the dork option. Which means 100% of voters think you're a dork. 
Edit: Ahhh....more voters changes everything!

| A plug adapter will not step the 240 down to 110, unless the computer has a switch for this, and I've never seen that on a computer... |

| Most adapters for laptops in Korea are rated for 110-240V, 50-60Hz. Meaning that, yes all you need is a plug adapter to plug it in anywhere in the world. Of course, check your adapter to make sure first. |

Or get a Korean co-teacher to read it for you and then stare at you blankly. |
