KST to GMT converter

GMT is 9 hours behind KST right now. Live clocks on both sides, a direct time input, the full 24-hour table with a permalink per hour, and the real daylight-saving state — computed from the IANA tz database on every request, never from a stored offset.

Daylight saving right now

Greenwich Mean Time

Etc/GMT is currently on GMT (UTC+00:00).

no clock change scheduled — this zone is fixed at UTC+00:00

GMT is UTC+0 and never shifts. The UK observes GMT in winter only — in summer it is on BST (UTC+1), so "GMT" on a British invite dated in July usually means BST.

Korea Standard Time

Asia/Seoul is on KST (UTC+09:00).

no clock change scheduled — fixed at UTC+09:00

Korea Standard Time is UTC+9 year-round, identical in offset to JST.

Best time to call green = 09:00–18:00 on both sides

No overlap inside a 09:00–18:00 day on both sides. Someone has to take an early or late slot — the table below shows exactly which hours are least bad.

Every hour as its own page

KST to GMT — questions

What time is it in GMT when it is KST now?
GMT is currently 01:23 on Thursday, 13 August 2026 (GMT, UTC+00:00), while KST is 10:23 (UTC+09:00). That is 9 hours behind the source clock right now.
How many hours behind is GMT of KST?
9 hours at this moment. The gap is not constant across the year: Korea Standard Time and Greenwich Mean Time change clocks on different dates (or one of them not at all), so a difference you hard-code in summer can be an hour wrong in winter. The table on this page is computed from the current tzdata rules, not from a fixed offset.
Is GMT on daylight saving time right now?
No. Etc/GMT is on GMT (UTC+00:00) at the moment.
Does GMT observe daylight saving time?
No. Etc/GMT stays on UTC+00:00 all year, so the difference from KST only moves when KST itself changes.
Is there any working-hours overlap between KST and GMT?
Not inside a normal 09:00-18:00 day on both sides — the 9-hour gap is too wide. One party has to take an early or late slot; the hour table above shows exactly which hours land where so you can pick the least painful one.
Which IANA timezone name should I use for GMT in code?
Use Etc/GMT. Abbreviations like GMT are ambiguous and not resolvable by most libraries — Python's ZoneInfo, Java's ZoneId, Go's time.LoadLocation and JavaScript's Intl all expect the IANA name. Hard-coding UTC+00:00 instead will be wrong the moment the rules change.
