Essential Checklist for First-Time Visitors to Korea

For those visiting Korea for the first time, we have compiled a list of essential items you must pack. Please check them before your trip.

• Transportation Card (T-money): Can be used for subways, buses, and at convenience stores; it can be easily purchased at airports or convenience stores.
• Data SIM or Pocket Wi-Fi: While Korea has fast internet speeds, a dedicated data source is essential for navigation and translation.
• Voltage Converter (Adapter): Korea uses 220V (60Hz) and Type C/F plugs. Depending on your country, you may need a converter.
• Map Apps: Naver Map or KakaoMap provide more accurate walking and public transportation routes than global map services.

If there are any other items that were useful during your trip to Korea, please share them in the comments.
