What the HKD to KRW conversion is for
The Hong Kong dollar is used only in Hong Kong, so you'll reach for this rate when budgeting a trip, shopping in Mong Kok or Tsim Sha Tsui, checking out on a Hong Kong online store, or preparing a transfer or currency exchange. HKD is pegged to the US dollar (1 USD ≈ 7.75–7.85 HKD), so while it's steady against the dollar, its value in won drifts with the USD/KRW rate. Notes come as HK$10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000. Enter any HKD amount above to see the won figure, or flip the direction to go the other way.
Reading the number, with worked examples
The result reads as "1 HKD = about 189 KRW." To go from HKD to won, multiply the HKD amount by the rate. At 1 HKD ≈ 189.45 KRW (17 Jul 2026), a HK$100 dim sum lunch is about ₩18,945, a HK$500 shopping haul is about ₩94,725, and HK$1,000 comes to roughly ₩189,450. Going the other way, a ₩200,000 budget is worth about HK$1,055.
Base rate vs. your bank or card rate
This tool pulls the base exchange rate (mid rate) published by the Korea Export-Import Bank (Korea Eximbank) — the reference midpoint, not the rate a bank, exchange booth, or card issuer actually gives you. When you pay or exchange, a spread, a foreign-transaction fee (typically 1–3%), and ATM withdrawal fees are layered on top, so your real won cost runs a little higher than the number shown. Use it for planning and comparison, then confirm the final amount at your bank or card provider's posted rate.
Frequently asked questions
How much is 1 Hong Kong dollar in Korean won right now?
As of 17 Jul 2026 it's about ₩189.45 per HK$1. This is the base rate published by the Korea Export-Import Bank once per business day, around 11:00 KST; on weekends and holidays the previous business day's value stays in place.
Will my card charge this exact rate in Hong Kong?
No. The figure here is the mid-market reference rate. Your actual card charge uses the issuer's rate plus a foreign-transaction fee, so expect to pay roughly 1–3% more in won than the rate shown.
What does it mean that the HKD is pegged to the US dollar?
Under Hong Kong's Linked Exchange Rate System, 1 USD is kept within HK$7.75–7.85. That holds the HKD steady against the dollar, but its value in won still rises and falls along with the USD/KRW rate.
