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

Fans and creators · https://lfg.gm/kst-to-my-time

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 on the page to see it in your own time. LFG Alarm, a social alarm clock for iPhone and Android, can then turn that moment into an alarm and ring every fan in your chat in the same second, wherever they live.

## Convert a KST time

6 PM KST is 9 AM UTC: 10 AM in London in summer time and 9 AM in winter, 4 AM in Houston in summer and 3 AM in winter, 2 AM in Los Angeles in summer, and 5 PM in Manila. Korea has no daylight saving, but the US and Europe do, so the same KST time lands an hour apart in different months.

## How the alarm handles time zones

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. For a morning club where everyone wakes at their own 6:00 AM, 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.

## Comeback week as alarms

Each moment can be its own alarm, shown in your time with the Seoul time beside it so nobody argues in the chat. The page's example week:

| Moment | Seoul time |
|---|---|
| Teaser drop | Three days before, 12:00 AM |
| MV and album | Drop day, 6:00 PM |
| Stream party with the chat | Drop day, 6:00 PM |
| Fan chant practice call | The day after, 8:00 PM |
| Birthday trend | Four days after, 12:00 AM |

## Ring the whole fan chat

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 on the wake board. Pick a voice with attitude for it in the app: Hype man ("Let's go. Up. Now."), Breaking news or Your bestie ("Wake up bestie, it's happening.").

## For fan accounts

Instead of posting "set your alarms!!", make one public alarm for the drop and post its link. Every follower who joins rings at the same second, in their own time. A post you could copy: "ride the drop alarm, 6PM KST, your phone does the maths: `lfg.gm/a/<alarm-code>`". 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.

**Try this.** Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or another AI agent that has the LFG Alarm connector (https://mcp.lfg.gm), not into the LFG Alarm app. The person needs the LFG Alarm app on their phone.

> 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 join, ringing everyone at the same time, and give me the link for our fan chat.

Why it works: It gives the time in KST so your AI agent does the conversion, and asks for a shareable link so fans in other countries get rung 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.
