How it works

  1. The live clock reads your browser's system time and converts it to KST (UTC+9) in real time.
  2. The world-time panel shows the equivalent time in dozens of major cities simultaneously.
  3. Enter any custom KST time in the converter to see what it maps to in every listed zone.
  4. Click "Use Current Time" to reset the converter back to the live KST moment.
  5. All calculations happen client-side — no data is sent to any server.
