Busan is a city in South Korea, with a population of about 3,285,147. It uses the Korean Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Seoul).
Busan does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+9 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Seoul.
Because Busan lies at 35.10° N, 129.03° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 31 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 9 h 48 min.
