Good to know about the time in South Korea

South Korea is on UTC+9 all year round, with no daylight saving time, like Japan: it is 8 hours ahead of France in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer. Time in Seoul

The country last used daylight saving time in 1987 and 1988, around the Seoul Olympic Games. North Korea adopted its own time, half an hour behind, from August 2015 to May 2018, before realigning with Seoul.
