KST to WET Converter

Converting Korea Standard Time to Western European Time

Korea Standard Time (KST) and Western European Time (WET) are separated by a 9 hours time difference. WET is 9 hours behind KST. KST is UTC+9, used in South Korea, while WET is UTC+0, used in Portugal, United Kingdom, Ireland.

When converting from KST to WET, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM KST equals 12:00 AM WET, 12:00 PM noon KST equals 3:00 AM WET, and 5:00 PM KST equals 8:00 AM WET. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across KST and WET

For professionals scheduling meetings between KST and WET, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 9 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

KST does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+9 year-round. WET observes DST, switching to WEST (UTC+1). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
