Time is Unified in Korea

  After the summit of the 2 Korean leaders, North Korea has announced on Apr 30 that the local time set 30 minutes faster from May 5, making it (UTC+09:00), the identical time zone with South Korea.

  Originally, both Koreas were under same time zone. In 2005, DPRK announced to use "Pyeong Yang time", to delay 30minutes. This time zone was used solely by North Korea in the world!

 
The 2 Korean leaders have signed a "Panmunjom Declaration".
According to South Korea's Ministry of Defense, since May 1, the propaganda loudspeakers against North Korea along the borders will be removed, and the DMZ will be made into an area for peace.
