About
Working across 1 hours of time difference
Seoul and Singapore are close enough (1 hours) that a normal workday call poses little challenge. Most slots between 10 AM and 4 PM in either city land cleanly in the other's business hours. Pick a time that suits the agenda; both teams can attend without disruption.
Daylight Saving Time can shift the gap by an hour twice a year. The North American DST window does not align with the European one, so the offset between Seoul and Singapore can drift in late March and again in early November. Use this page to re-check your standing meeting on each transition.
FAQ
What's the best time for a meeting between Seoul and Singapore?
Best overlap: 9:00 AM–10:00 AM Seoul time (2/2 zones in business hours). The strongest business-hour overlap is UTC 0:00–2:00, which is Seoul 9:00 AM–10:00 AM and Singapore 8:00 AM–9:00 AM locally.
What is the time difference between Seoul and Singapore?
Seoul is currently UTC+09:00 and Singapore is UTC+08:00, a difference of 1 hours. The exact gap can shift by one hour when one city switches to or from Daylight Saving Time.
Should we shift the meeting if one city changes Daylight Saving Time?
Yes — when only one of the two cities observes DST, the overlap window moves by an hour. Re-check this page in the weeks around March/April and October/November and adjust your standing meeting accordingly. The 24-hour grid below always reflects the current correct offset.
Can I schedule a daily standup that works for both Seoul and Singapore?
Yes — the offset is only 1 hours, so any mid-morning or mid-afternoon slot in either city will fall in working hours for both. A 10am or 3pm in Seoul usually works well.
