Current local time in North Korea
North Korea keeps a single time zone, Asia/Pyongyang, currently UTC+9. It does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset holds all year.
Every clock below is computed in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so the offsets reflect the daylight-saving rules in force today rather than a value written down once and left to rot.
