Korea Time to Europe: Convert KST to UK, Central & Eastern European Time
Good news for European fans — a 6 PM KST comeback lands mid-morning to midday your time, so you can usually watch live. Here's every European zone, with the summer-time twist.
Good news for European fans
Because Korea is only 7–9 hours ahead of Europe, a 6 PM KST comeback lands mid-morning to midday your time — so unlike fans in the Americas, you can usually watch live. Here is every European zone, with the summer-time twist.
Europe's three time zones
WET / GMT — UK, Ireland, Portugal. CET — France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland (most of the continent). EET — Greece, Finland, the Baltics, Romania.
The summer-time rule
European clocks move forward on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October. Korea stays on UTC+9 all year, so during European summer the gap is one hour smaller. Note: Europe and the US switch on different dates, so for a few days each spring and autumn the gap can be an hour off what you expect — when in doubt, use the live converter.
