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 Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Pacific Standard Time (PST, IANA: America/Los_Angeles) is the standard time zone for the US West Coast and Canadian westernmost provinces, set at UTC-8:00. PST is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March per the Uniform Time Act of 1966; the region switches to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT = UTC-7:00) the rest of the year. PST is used by ~50 million people in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada (most), British Columbia, Yukon Territory, and the Mexican states of Baja California Norte. Major cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Vancouver BC. PST is the time zone of US tech hubs (Silicon Valley, Seattle, Vancouver) — global software-release coordination, Big-Tech corporate-earnings calls, Hollywood production schedules, and NYSE/Nasdaq market hours (PST 06:30-13:00) all reference PST/PDT. Mexico abolished DST nationwide in 2022 except for border zones, complicating Baja conversions.
