Current Time in Seoul

About Time in Seoul

Korea Standard Time is a fixed UTC+9, the same numeric offset as Japan Standard Time — see our JST time page for that zone.

Seoul overlaps closely with Japan and China, catches a narrow window with the European morning, and has very little overlap with the US working day. Check specifics with the Meeting Planner.

• Country: South Korea
• UTC offset: UTC+9
• Daylight saving: South Korea does not observe daylight saving time — it was discontinued after a brief trial that ended in 1988.
