Your answer: Fiji → South Korea
Plug adapter
Adapter required
South Korea uses Type C, F; your Fiji plug (Type I) doesn't fit. Pack a Type C/F adapter — or a universal one if you travel often.
Voltage converter
Not needed
Both countries are on the same high-voltage standard (240V in Fiji, 230V in South Korea). Your devices work as-is.

What this means for your trip
Going from Fiji to South Korea you'll need a plug adapter, but voltage is identical on both sides, so that's one less thing to worry about.
South Korea uses Type C/F outlets; Fiji uses Type I. The shapes are incompatible, so every plug you bring needs a Type C/F adapter to reach the socket. The cheapest option is a simple shape-only adapter for that one country; if you travel often, a universal adapter (fits every country) pays for itself in a single trip.
Voltage is the same on both ends (240V vs 230V, 50Hz vs 60Hz), so every charger that works at home works in South Korea without modification. No voltage converter, no hunting for "100-240V" on the brick.
Frequently asked
Do I need a travel adapter for South Korea from Fiji?
Yes. South Korea uses Type C/F outlets, which don't accept Fiji's Type I plugs. Pack a Type C/F adapter — or a universal one if you travel often.
What type of plug does South Korea use?
South Korea uses Type C and Type F outlets at 230V, 60Hz. Two round pins. Widespread across Europe, South America, and parts of Asia.
What's the voltage in South Korea?
South Korea runs on 230V at 60Hz. That's on the high-voltage standard, lower than Fiji's 240V supply. Most modern phones, laptops, tablets, and camera chargers are dual-voltage (check for "100-240V" on the brick) and work on either. Single-voltage devices like hair dryers, curling irons, and travel kettles will not — bring a dual-voltage travel version or a voltage converter.
Are Fiji chargers dual-voltage?
Most — but not all. Check the charger brick for a line that reads something like "INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60Hz." If you see that, the charger works on either voltage standard and you only need a plug adapter. If it lists just "120V" (or just "230V"), it's single-voltage and can't be plugged straight into the other side without a voltage converter.
