How to convert time from Korea Standard Time (KST) to Moscow Standard Time (MSK)

Converting between Korea Standard Time (KST) and Moscow Standard Time (MSK) could be challenging. As companies become more global, we find ourselves in a mess of calendar invites. Time changes from KST cities like Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu are -6 hour(s) apart to MSK cities like Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, holiday schedules, and the basic communication becomes a juggling act. To make it easier to understand, we'll break down the process of converting time between KST and MSK into step-by-step instructions.

Step 1: Understanding Korea Standard Time and Moscow Standard Time

Korea Standard Time is UTC9, which means that the local time in the Korea Standard Time zone is 9 hours apart from UTC. Moscow Standard Time is UTC3, which means that the local time in the Moscow Standard Time zone is 3 hours apart from UTC.

Step 2: Calculate the Time Difference

To convert time from Korea Standard Time to Moscow Standard Time, we first need to find the time difference between both time zones. Since Korea Standard Time is UTC9 and Moscow Standard Time is UTC3, the time difference is: -6 hour(s)

-6 hours = Korea Standard Time's difference from UTC 3 + (Moscow Standard Time's difference from UTC 9
Moscow Standard Time has -6 hour(s) difference Korea Standard Time.

Scheduling a meeting between Korea Standard Time and Moscow Standard Time

When scheduling a meeting between employees in the Korea Standard Time and Moscow Standard Time zones, there are several factors to consider to ensure that the meeting is convenient and productive for all participants. Here's a detailed breakdown of what you should consider before scheduling across time zones:

Convert Time Difference: As we've discussed earlier, Moscow Standard Time is -6 ahead of Korea Standard Time. It's crucial to take this time difference into account when scheduling a meeting to avoid scheduling conflicts or creating meetings at odd or inappropriate hours. In my experience, accidentally scheduling a meeting a 4am is awkward.

Overlapping Working Hours: To find a suitable time for the meeting, you’ll need to identify the overlapping working hours between the two time zones. For example, if employees in both zones work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM local time, the overlapping hours could be between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM Korea Standard Time but -6 hours different to Moscow Standard Time. Be upfront with Moscow Standard Time employees to find the right time.

Consideration of Local Holidays: Be mindful of local Korea Standard Time and Moscow Standard Time holidays, festivals, or observances in both time zones. These events might affect employee availability or working hours. Check local calendars for both the Korea Standard Time and Moscow Standard Time zones to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Communicate Time Zone Differences: Clearly communicate the meeting time in both Korea Standard Time and Moscow Standard Time to avoid confusion. Using a tool like an online meeting planner or time zone converter can help simplify the process and ensure accuracy.

Converting time zones across other countries

The process of converting time between two time zones is similar regardless of the countries involved. You'll need to determine the time difference between the two zones and add it to the time in the first zone. Keep in mind that some countries may observe daylight saving time or have different time zones within the country. It's important to double-check the time difference before scheduling any meetings or events.
