do they sell power strips that are instantly compatible with North american plugs or will i need to attach a plug adapter to every single outlet? Considering that my electronics are all dual-voltage, is it safe to have them all connected to via a power strip and plugged into one korean outlet?

I wouldnt bring one from the US and use a plug converter on that. Voltage is too much. You`ll have to use a Korean power bar and then plug converters for each one. Unless you have intercompatible electronics that can use one plug in all.
