North Korea will shift its time zone 30 minutes earlier to align with South Korea starting May 5 "as a first practical step for national reconciliation and unity," the North's state media said.

South Korea and Japan are in the same time zone, nine hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time.

Not that I know of, but by the end of Sept 2020, we won't.  >:(
