Why people convert Seoul to ART time
- Scheduling a call from Seoul to ART: a 10:00 AM start in Seoul lands at 10:00 PM in ART the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -12h gap: Seoul and ART 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 ART is 9:00 PM in Seoul.
- Watching a live event or market open: Seoul viewers need 9:00 PM in ART to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 12:00 PM if the event is anchored to Seoul.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM KST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -12h gap is not.
- With a -12h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Seoul takes the early slot, the next week ART does.
