How the gap works

The gap is not constant. Because Paris changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Seoul does not, the difference becomes 8 hours for part of the year. The live section above shows the exact gap right now and when it next changes.

  • Paris (France) is in the Europe/Paris time zone: UTC+1 (CET) or UTC+2 (CEST).
  • Seoul (South Korea) is in the Asia/Seoul time zone: UTC+9 (KST).
