About this K-pop time converter

A free tool that turns any Korean (KST) comeback, music-show or live time into local time for fifteen fan cities worldwide — with weekday, day shift, a live countdown and a calendar file. Built and maintained by a single developer as one site in the bal.pe.kr micro-SaaS portfolio.

Experience — why this exists

This tool was built out of the same frustration every overseas fan knows: an announcement that only says "6PM KST," followed by frantic mental math at the worst possible hour. After missing one too many lives to a daylight-saving slip, the maker built a converter focused on the K-pop context specifically — music-show presets, day-shift labels and a shareable card — rather than a generic meeting-time tool. It is used the way fans actually use it: quickly, on a phone, minutes before a comeback.

Expertise & accuracy — how the times stay correct

• Standard time zone data. Every conversion uses the browser’s built-in IANA time zone database through the JavaScript Intl API. There is no hand-maintained offset table, so daylight-saving rule changes are picked up automatically by your device.
• Date-specific resolution. Offsets are computed for the exact event date you enter, so a live near a March or November clock change is correct for that day, not a year-round average.
• UTC-based calendar files. The .ics export stores events as UTC instants, which every calendar app converts to the correct local time, surviving any DST transition between now and the event.

Trust — privacy, scope and contact

• No server, no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser; your last event is saved only in localStorage.
• Share links are client-side. The share feature encodes the event into the URL — nothing is sent to a server.
• Not affiliated. This is an independent fan tool, not connected to any agency, artist or broadcaster. Always confirm official schedules on the artist’s own channels.
• Hosting: AWS S3 + CloudFront (static, no backend).
• Contact: comsamo84@gmail.com — report a wrong time or a missing city and it will be reviewed.
