Will my GHDs, about 2 years old now, work in South Korea with a universal adapter? Don't want them to explode


Will my GHDs, about 2 years old now, work in South Korea with a universal adapter? Don't want them to explode!
Going to work in South Korea for a year - been told that my GHDs will not work there due to the difference in voltage conversion. Should I take them and my adapter anyways and hope for the best? Or just buy an expensive new pair with in-built voltage converter...?

Any electrical device work with an apropriate adaptor. There are adaptors from 110V/ 60HZ to 220V/ 50Hz or vice versa. You will not have any problems. Have a nice day

The voltage will def be different. Your GHDs will not explode (dont quote me on that) but they will not work properly e.g. not heat up properly. Almost not worth bringing them. Not sure about a voltage converstion. I know many travel hairdryers have built in voltage converstions but unfortunatly GHD's dont!! Have a great holiday

If it is an MK4, then you will simply need a universal adapter. MK4's have universal voltage which automatically adjusts to the local voltage for optimum performance.
