South Korea has one time zone, Korea Standard Time (GMT+9), which is abbreviated KST.[1][2] South Korea currently does not observe daylight saving time.[3]
From May 8 to October 9 in 1988, daylight saving time was tested to better accommodate the calendar of competitions held during the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.[4][5]
