Seoul and New York City Time Difference

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between Seoul and New York City takes a little planning. Seoul is 13 hours ahead of New York City, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in Seoul — around 7 pm — which puts New York City at 6 am. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
