Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Dublin uses the EUR (€) and Seoul uses the KRW (₩). Language shifts too — English in Dublin, Korean in Seoul. Be careful behind the wheel: Dublin drives on the left, Seoul on the right.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Dublin and Seoul?
Dublin is 8 hours ahead of Seoul. Dublin runs on GMT+1 and Seoul on GMT+9. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
Standard 09:00–17:00 workdays don't intersect. Most teams compromise with one side meeting early (before 09:00) or late (after 17:00).
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
How far is Dublin from Seoul?
About 8,951 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 11h 2m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.
Can I send this meeting time as a calendar invite?

What currency do Dublin and Seoul use?
Dublin uses the euro (EUR, €); Seoul uses the South Korean won (KRW, ₩). Check the live rate before transferring money or paying with a card abroad — most banks add a 1–3 % FX margin on top of the mid-market rate.

Dial the international prefix used by your carrier (often 00), then +353, then the local number — drop any leading zero of the city or mobile code. For free calls, WhatsApp, Signal, and FaceTime work over Wi-Fi regardless of country code.
What language is spoken in Dublin and Seoul?
Dublin primarily speaks English, Irish; Seoul speaks Korean. English is widely used in business contexts in major cities of both, but written contracts may need translation.

No. Ireland drives on the left, South Korea on the right. If you're renting, expect a learning curve on the first day — especially at roundabouts and when judging the centre of the lane.
