Why people convert MDT to Seoul time

- Handling a +15h gap: MDT and Seoul have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Seoul is 12:00 AM in MDT.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in MDT is 11:00 AM in Seoul makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM MDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +15h gap is not.
- With a +15h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week MDT takes the early slot, the next week Seoul does.
