Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time difference between KST and AEDT?
During standard time, Australian Eastern Daylight Time is 2 hours ahead of Korea Standard Time.
Does South Korea observe Daylight Saving Time?
South Korea does not observe Daylight Saving Time and has not done so since 1988, when DST was discontinued following the Seoul Summer Olympics. KST remains fixed at UTC+9:00 every day of the year, meaning the offset between Seoul and any DST-observing country shifts by one hour twice annually when those countries change their clocks.
Are KST and JST the same?
Yes, Korea Standard Time (KST) and Japan Standard Time (JST) share the identical UTC+9:00 offset, and neither country observes Daylight Saving Time. Seoul and Tokyo run on exactly the same clock year-round, which directly supports the deep semiconductor, automotive, and consumer electronics supply chain integration between the two economies.
When does AEDT start and end?
AEDT begins on the first Sunday in October at 02:00 local time, when clocks spring forward one hour from AEST (UTC+10) to AEDT (UTC+11). It ends on the first Sunday in April at 03:00 local time, when clocks fall back to AEST. In 2026, AEDT starts on October 4 and ends on April 5 — following the Southern Hemisphere summer calendar, which runs opposite to DST schedules in Europe and North America.
Is Brisbane on AEDT?
No — Queensland, including Brisbane, does not observe Daylight Saving Time and remains on AEST (UTC+10) year-round. During the AEDT period from October through April, Sydney and Melbourne advance to UTC+11 while Brisbane stays at UTC+10, creating a one-hour gap between cities that share nearly the same longitude and are otherwise in the same time zone for the other six months of the year.
