Does anyone know if Korea uses 60 mhz VHS, (the same as N. America and Japan), or the other type, (the same as China and the UK)?

Yes, I have tried looking on a videotape for some sort of identification.

Thank you

I believe they are like the ones in the States because I have used a tape in both places.

Korea uses NTSC tv format like North America rather than PAL (used in the UK among other places- China? I wouldn't know...) and consequently VCRs and VHS tapes are the same as the North American standard. I have no idea how MHz fits into this but if North America uses 60 Mhz then that's what they use in Korea too.

If you have PAL videos you want to watch - I have a PAL (UK Europe video player machine) to give away for free - very nice machine - just doesn't play Korean videos -

refer to the Buy/Sell/Trade forum

Canada, USA, Korea use the same system of video.

Also it is 48000hz and 29.97fps for NTSC video.

Pal is the same hz or mhz but 25fps, and different in size (shape).
