Your laptop is probably 220v. ready, just check the back for the power handling capabilities. In this case, you will only need to buy a new power cable when you get here. Cheap and everywhere.

Check here for some pictures. Just snap out the wall plug, buy a local version. Just note if its 3 pin or 2 pin.

Yep, you definitely need to find out if your laptop can be supported by 220V (check your adapter too). All the outlets in Korea are 220V and if your computer is not, it's going to fry up. If you laptop is new, I wouldn't worry about it too much, it should work. You'll need the power cable but you won't need anything else. Internet cables and any other accessories are here for you.
