You will not have any voltage issues using any Australian electronics in Korea including computers.
The plugs are different, but since you already have an adapter you are good to go.
This works both ways- you will also be able to use any Korean electronics in Australia.

You shouldn't have issues. Korean power standard is 220VAC, Australian is 240VAC, your laptop power supply should work no problem.
Buy a good quality travel adaptor. Two prong ones, same as European ones. However, I noticed that most travel adaptors' prongs are smaller and they spark everytime I plug in the Korean power outlets.
In some old buildings, they may have old Korean standard power (110Vac) with two flat blade sockets. Make sure your laptop power supply can handle 110Vac before plug it in.
