Have a search for used Devialet 120. Extremely wife friendly, built-in DAC and phonostage, great sound, upgradable, Probably a little bit more than your budget, but worth considering! There is one for sale on Audiogon for about $3k.
When you want to upgrade, you can send it to France, Upgrade the internals to the next model, and keep the same chassis.
They also show up on the European equipment websites. Lastly, they are natively dual voltage.
good luck!
ps: I adore Korea! I lived there for a couple of years as a young person teaching English. I miss good 된장찌개!
