Hello North Korea's standard time will be GMT+8:30 from Aug. 15 2015. According to the news, North Korea will push back its standard time by 30 minutes to mark the 70th anniversary of liberation from Japan's colonial rule, the country's official news agency said Friday. North Korea's clocks will be moved back a half-hour starting on the upcoming Aug. 15 anniversary, the Korean Central News Agency said. "The time at 127 degrees 30 minutes east longitude or 30 minutes later than the present one shall be fixed as the standard time of the DPRK and called Pyongyang time," the KCNA report said. DPRK is the country's official name, Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Reference link: http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/search1/2603000000.html?cid=AEN2015080700155 2315 Regards Jongsoo Lee

Not sure if this has been posted, but here is the link: https://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/29206511/n-korea-puts-back-its-clocks-to-… Their government official news agency's website does have a link title says 'Pyongyang Time Fixed'. But the website went down after I tried to follow the link :P Zhengang
