Since the Japanese use the North American style plug (seems an odd
choice since it is so flimsy in comparison to other types they could
have used), it's probably a good bet that the Koreans us this as well.
I'd be surprised if they used the Schuko plug.

If the 3-contact connector really is a Schuko, the plug can be inserted
either way round, so you have to treat both power contacts as live.
