Current Time in Pyongyang

Pyongyang operates on the Korean Standard Time time zone (GMT+9).

With a metropolitan population of approximately 3,255,000, it is one of the most significant cities in North Korea.

North Korea does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so Pyongyang maintains the GMT+9 offset year-round — a convenience for international scheduling since the offset never changes.

The IANA timezone identifier for Pyongyang is Asia/Pyongyang, used by operating systems and programming languages worldwide.

When scheduling calls, meetings, or travel involving Pyongyang, always verify the current UTC offset since daylight saving transitions can shift the relative time difference with other regions.
