About KST

Korea Standard Time (KST) is UTC+9. It is used in South Korea, with no daylight saving.

Korea Standard Time is UTC+9, the same as Japan, and South Korea has had no daylight saving since 1988 when it was used for the Seoul Olympics. The two Koreas briefly differed: the North moved to UTC+8:30 in 2015 and returned to UTC+9 in 2018, which is the only time in modern history the peninsula ran on two clocks.

About NZDT

New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT) is UTC+13. It is used in New Zealand from late September to early April.

New Zealand Daylight Time is UTC+13, one of the few offsets past twelve hours and therefore a full calendar day ahead of most of the Americas. New Zealand's summer is the northern hemisphere's winter, so NZDT applies over Christmas — the opposite of every northern daylight-saving abbreviation, and a common mistake in end-of-year scheduling.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither KST nor NZDT shifts with the seasons, so this 4-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
