Time difference between Seoul and Mexico City

Mexico City is 15 hours behind Seoul

Seoul, South Korea is UTC+9 · Mexico City, Mexico is UTC−6 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Seoul does not change its clocks and Mexico City does not change its clocks — so 15 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Seoul and nine-to-five in Mexico City do not overlap at all. With 15 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
