About Venezuela Time (VET)

Venezuela Time (VET, IANA: America/Caracas) is the official civil time of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, set at UTC-4:00 year-round. Venezuela abolished Daylight Saving Time long ago and the country has had a complicated time-zone history — in 2007 President Hugo Chávez moved Venezuela from UTC-4:00 to UTC-4:30 (a 30-minute offset, citing benefits to schoolchildren's morning light), then in 2016 President Nicolás Maduro reverted the country back to UTC-4:00 (citing energy crisis and need to better coordinate with regional neighbors). VET serves approximately 28 million people across Venezuela's 23 states + Federal District + Federal Dependencies. Major cities: Caracas (3M city, 5M metro — capital), Maracaibo (2.3M), Valencia (1.4M), Barquisimeto (1.1M), Ciudad Guayana (900K). VET is the same offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST), making coordination with Puerto Rico, USVI, Bermuda, and Canadian Maritime provinces in winter relatively straightforward. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Caracas (BVC) operations, PDVSA petroleum-export shipping schedules, and Angel Falls tourism in Canaima National Park.

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.
