How the gap works

The gap is not constant. Because Sydney changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Seoul does not, the difference becomes 1 hour for part of the year. The live section above shows the exact gap right now and when it next changes.

  • Seoul (South Korea) is in the Asia/Seoul time zone: UTC+9 (KST).
  • Sydney (Australia) is in the Australia/Sydney time zone: UTC+10 (AEST) or UTC+11 (AEDT).
