Unique Time Zone
Should you ever venture into North Korea, remember to adjust your watches—even if you’ve just arrived from South Korea. In 2015, the North Korean leadership introduced its very own time zone. This distinct time zone bears the name of the capital city: Pyongyang time.
Diverging from the global norm, this time zone is half an hour apart. Specifically, it stands at +8:30 relative to Greenwich Mean Time. The noteworthy point is that daylight savings adjustments need not concern you.
