About Korea Standard Time (KST)

Korea Standard Time (KST, IANA: Asia/Seoul) is the civil time of both the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea — since May 2018 when North Korea reverted to KST from its briefly used Pyongyang Time UTC+8:30 of 2015-2018), set at UTC+9:00 year-round (no DST). South Korea observed Daylight Saving Time briefly in 1948-1951 and again 1987-1988 during the Seoul Olympics (to facilitate evening TV broadcasts to North America), but discontinued it both times. KST is identical in offset to Japan Standard Time (JST), Yakutsk Time, Western Indonesian Time WIT (eastern Indonesia), and Palau Time (PWT) — creating a 'business-friendly' Northeast Asia zone of synchronized financial centers (Seoul-Tokyo). KST serves the Korean Peninsula's approximately 78 million residents (South Korea 52M + North Korea 26M). Major KST cities: Seoul (9.7M city, 25.7M metro — South Korean capital and the world's 5th-largest metro), Busan (3.3M — South Korea's 2nd-largest city + main port), Incheon (3M — Seoul Capital Area, location of Incheon International Airport ICN), Daegu (2.4M), Daejeon (1.5M), Pyongyang (3.2M — North Korean capital), Hamhung (770K — North Korea), Nampo (980K — North Korea). Affects: KRX (Korea Exchange) trading hours, K-pop industry music-release timing, Samsung + LG + Hyundai global headquarters operations.

About Eastern European Summer Time (EEST)

Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, IANA: Europe/Athens during DST window) is the summer-time variant of EET, set at UTC+3:00 — observed from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. EEST shares the same UTC offset as Moscow Standard Time (MSK), Saudi Arabia Standard Time (AST-SA), and East Africa Time (EAT). After the 2018 EU proposal to abolish twice-yearly clock changes (postponed indefinitely), the question of whether EEST countries would permanently stay on summer time (UTC+3) or revert to year-round EET (UTC+2) remains unresolved. EEST serves the same ~50 million population as EET (Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland). Affects: ASE (Athens Stock Exchange) summer trading hours, summer-festival schedules in Greek islands (Mykonos, Santorini, Ios), Finnish midsummer Juhannus celebrations, and Black Sea cruise-ship port arrival times at Constanța Romania + Varna Bulgaria + Odesa Ukraine.
