Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the South Korean won to pound exchange rate, and the South Korean won buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The South Korean won to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one South Korean won in British pounds. For example, a South Korean won to pound rate of 0.0006 means one South Korean won is worth 0.0006 pounds.
In contrast, the South Korean won buyback rate corresponds to the amount of South Korean won you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a South Korean won buyback rate of 1600 means you'd have to exchange 1600 South Korean won to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the South Korean won buyback rate instead of the South Korean won to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our South Korean won comparisons. However, on this page, we use the South Korean won to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the South Korean won buyback rate into the actual South Korean won to pound rate, just divide 1 by the South Korean won buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 1600 = 0.0006.
