About Nangen Time Zone
Nangen uses the Asia/Seoul IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone used across all of South Korea. Its standard offset is UTC+9, also known as Korea Standard Time (KST). This means Nangen is 9 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time throughout the year.
South Korea currently does not observe daylight saving time, so Nangen stays on UTC+9 year-round without seasonal clock changes. That makes time coordination simpler than in countries such as the United States or United Kingdom, where offsets change in March and November or March and October. If you are scheduling recurring calls with Nangen, the Korean local time remains fixed while the difference with New York or London shifts when those countries enter or leave DST.
Geographically, Nangen is in South Korea, in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and shares the same national time as major cities including Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, and Gwangju. Nangen is on the same clock as Tokyo, Japan (UTC+9), but it is 1 hour behind China Standard Time? No—China is actually UTC+8, so Nangen is 1 hour ahead of Beijing and Shanghai. It is also 5 hours ahead of Dubai (UTC+4) and generally 9 hours ahead of London in winter or 8 hours ahead in summer.
