Asia/Seoul · KST

Live Seoul time, sunrise, and sunset

This page shows the current time in Seoul on Korea Standard Time — a fixed UTC+9 with no daylight saving — plus today's sunrise, sunset, and day length.

The offset never moves, so a 09:00 KST stand-up is always 00:00 UTC. Use the blocks below for the live gap from your city and a short sunrise/sunset outlook. Copy the iframe from Embed this clock if you want the same live face on another site.

  1. 01

    Read the fixed UTC+9 offset

    Open the Time zone card: Seoul stays on KST year-round. DST is not observed, so there is no next clock-change row for this zone.

  2. 02

    Check sunrise and sunset today

    The Daylight and Sunrise & sunset cards show today's rise, set, solar noon, and day length. Expand the outlook table for the week and months ahead.

  3. 03

    Embed this Seoul clock

    Copy the iframe from Embed this clock, or open the widget in a new tab. It shows live Seoul time year-round — this zone does not use daylight saving. No account required.

Why Seoul matches Tokyo on the clock

Korea Standard Time and Japan Standard Time both sit at a fixed UTC+9. Cross-border calls need no offset maths — the variable is always the other side in Europe or North America.

Questions about Seoul time & daylight

What time is it in Seoul right now?
The live clock at the top of this page shows Seoul local time and updates every second. It uses Asia/Seoul at a constant UTC+9.
Does Seoul use daylight saving time?
No. South Korea has no daylight saving, so Seoul stays at UTC+9 through the whole year. The Time zone card shows DST as not observed.
What time is sunrise and sunset in Seoul today?
See the Daylight and Sunrise & sunset cards for today's exact times, solar noon, and day length. The outlook table lists upcoming and past dates as well.

Yes. Both are UTC+9 year-round, so the clocks match. Your time vs Seoul still shows the gap from your own device.
