Seoul does not observe daylight saving time — it stays at UTC+9 all year round.
Seoul is 13h 0min ahead of New York and does not observe daylight saving time, so this difference stays constant all year round — unlike London, which changes clocks twice a year. Despite its geography, South Korea keeps a single time zone nationwide, so every city we track there shares Seoul's offset.
