It's a monitor. You can't use the USB port.

Travel type transformer are not made for LongTerm Usage,

You can expect them to burn out quickly, and possible burn out your monitor.

120v Monitors are not that expensive...
It is a 120v monitor but in Korea ALL the plugs are the same (Type C).

Why this Korean monitor? It is a 42inch 4k monitor and you can't buy that size yet in the U.S.; I have my reasons for getting a large monitor.

If it's 120. then you are likely fine. The cable that comes with it may be built at one end for their outlet. But the other end of the cable likely plugs into a standard patch cable port most desktop computers and monitors use. You should just be able to plug in a US patch cord into the monitor or it's power brick if it has one.

Adapter - Wallmart, etc, probably even CVC or your local drug strore....pick one up in the airport shops if needed. If you stay at a decent hotel they will likely have one.
Converter - you will probably not need one.
