Information about Korea Standard Time

Korea Standard Time (KST, Korean: 한반도 표준시. In South Korea: 대한민국 표준시.) is the standard time zone in North and South Korea and is 9 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+9): i.e., when it is midnight (00:00) UTC, it is 9 am (09:00) Korea Standard Time. Korea does not currently observe daylight saving time but has experimented with it in the past.[1] [2]

The difference from UTC is the same as Japan Standard Time.
