Current local time in South Korea
One time zone, 147 cities listed
South Korea keeps a single time zone, Asia/Seoul: Korean Standard Time (KST, UTC+9) all year, with no daylight saving.
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.
