About Seoul
Seoul is the capital of South Korea and the country's economic and cultural centre, home to major technology and electronics companies and a global hub for K-pop, Korean film and food. Fans, gamers, investors and business partners all keep an eye on the time in the city.
South Korea uses Korea Standard Time, UTC+9, with no daylight saving, so the offset is the same all year. It matches Japan exactly, so Seoul and Tokyo always show the same time. That puts Seoul an hour ahead of Beijing and Singapore, and its working day ends around the time Europe's is starting.
