What KST and BST Actually Are

KST — Korea Standard Time

Seoul, Busan, Incheon. Standing at UTC+9:00 as written, and the region does not change its clocks, so that offset holds all year.

South Korea has used daylight saving only twice, most recently for the 1988 Seoul Olympics, and has kept a fixed offset since.

BST — British Summer Time

London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and the rest of the UK from late March to late October. Standing at UTC+1:00 as written, and the region does change its clocks, so its live offset moves by an hour twice a year. The next change is on Sunday, October 25, 2026, to GMT. BST also stands for Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). BDT is the clearer label for that one.

British Summer Time began in 1916 as a wartime fuel-saving measure and has run every year since, making it one of the oldest continuous daylight saving schemes in the world.

What This Means in Practice

This gap is not fixed

BST changes its clocks and KST does not, so the difference between them moves by an hour twice a year. A recurring meeting set now will drift for one side from Sunday, October 25, 2026 unless someone resets it.
