i just bought a tablet from china and i'd love to charge it up and start using it - i'm just a little confused about voltage differences etc.

(i can't charge it through usb, by the way).

the poweradapter they've given me says the following:

input: ac 100-240v 50/60hz 0.65a
output: dc5v 3000ma
i.t.e power supply

obviously the pins don't fit in a korean wall socket, so i was wondering if i simply need an adapter for the pins, or do i need a converter for the voltage?

i'm pretty confused and pretty scared of frying my tablet - anyone know for sure what i can do?

220v here. It'll be fine. 100-240v is universal.

Your device is universal and the differences in voltages or line frequency that are found around the world are acceptable to it.

No worry.
