Good to know about the time in North Korea
North Korea is on UTC+9 all year round, with no daylight saving time, like South Korea and Japan: it is 8 hours ahead of France in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer. Time in Pyongyang
On 15 August 2015, for the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the peninsula, the country put its clocks back by half an hour, to break with the time inherited from Japanese colonial rule. It returned to Seoul time on 5 May 2018, after the inter-Korean summit.
