KST to your time: convert a Seoul drop and set the alarm

Korea Standard Time (KST) is UTC+9 all year, so a 6 PM drop in Seoul lands overnight in the Americas and in the morning in Europe. Put any KST time into the converter below to see it in your own time. LFG Alarm, a social alarm clock, can then turn that moment into an alarm and ring every fan in your chat in the same second, wherever they live.

Also called: KST converter · KST to EST · KST to PST · Korea time to my time · comeback countdown · K-pop release time

how the alarm handles time zones

You set it in KST. Everyone rings at the same second.

A shared alarm rings everyone at the same moment by default. Make the alarm for 6:00 PM KST and a fan in Houston is rung at 4:00 AM, one in London at 10:00 AM and one in Manila at 5:00 PM, all in the same second. Each person sees the time in their own zone on the alarm, so nobody has to do the maths.

Want everyone at their own time instead? For a morning club where everyone wakes at 6:00 AM wherever they live, pick Everyone's local time zone instead of Same time zone for everyone when you make it. The wake board then runs for a full day and ranks people by how fast they got up after their own ring.

the chat rings together

One link. Every time zone. Same second.

Share one link. Every phone that joined rings at once: 4am in Houston, 5pm in Manila, 10am in London. Then Rocco shows who was up for it.

for fan accounts

Post one alarm instead of “set your alarms!!”

Make a public alarm for the drop and post the link. Every follower who joins rings at the same second, in their own time. Rocco can also watch an account on X and ring you when it posts: full screen on Android, a time-sensitive alert with the alarm's sound on iPhone, so keep the ringer on.

ride the drop alarm, 6PM KST, your phone does the maths: lfg.gm/a/<alarm-code>

try this

Have your AI agent make it.

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or any AI agent that can add a connector, not into the LFG Alarm app. The setup steps come with it: get the LFG Alarm app, connect it to your agent once, and your agent makes the alarm in your account.

Use LFG Alarm to set a one-off alarm for Friday 6:00 PM KST, converted to my own time zone, called Comeback drop. Make it a friends alarm that anyone with the link can ride, with everyone rung at the same moment, and give me the link for our fan chat.

Already have the LFG Alarm app and connected it to your AI agent?

Why it works. It gives the time in KST so your AI agent does the conversion, and asks for a shareable link so mutuals in other countries ring at the same second. Add the Hype man voice in the app.

common mistakes
  • Converting the time in your head the night before. Put the KST time in and let the alarm do the maths.
  • Forgetting the clocks change. Korea has no daylight saving, but the US and Europe do, so the same KST time lands an hour apart in different months.
  • Each person setting their own alarm for a stream party. Share one alarm so the whole chat starts at the same second.
questions people ask
What time is 6 PM KST where I am?

KST is UTC+9 with no daylight saving. 6 PM KST is 9 AM UTC, which is 10 AM in London in summer time and 9 AM in winter, 4 AM in Houston in summer and 3 AM in winter, and 5 PM in Manila. The converter on this page works it out for your own time zone.

What is LFG Alarm?

A social alarm clock for iPhone and Android. Share an alarm by link and every phone that joins rings at the same moment, each showing the time in its own zone.

Is this an official app for my group?

No. LFG Alarm is an alarm clock. It is not affiliated with any artist, label, agency or platform.

What about daylight saving?

An alarm is set for one moment, so it rings at the right second wherever your phone is, before or after the clocks change.

Can my mutuals in other countries join?

Yes. Share one link. Every phone that joined rings in the same second: 4 AM for the fan in Houston, 5 PM for the one in Manila.

Will it help me get presale tickets?

It wakes you for the presale. It does not buy, queue or hold tickets.

Does it cost anything?

Setting alarms from a KST time, sharing them with friends and riding someone else’s are all free.
