North Korea doesn’t want to be part of our world anymore—and this time, they really mean it so they’ve decided to create their own time zone.

As a country, North Korea is well isolated from the rest of the world and they looking to drift far away from us with this new time zone creation.

North Korea’s state news agency, KCNA, has announced that the country will set its clocks back by 30 minutes to “Pyongyang time” on August 15–the 70th anniversary of liberation from Japan.

That will reset the time to GMT+08:30, as it was before Japanese colonization.

“The wicked Japanese imperialists committed such unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its standard time while mercilessly trampling down its land with 5 000 year-long history and culture and pursuing the unheard-of policy of obliterating the Korean nation,” KCNA reported on Friday.

Already, North Korea has a different calendar-instead of counting from the birth of Christ, they count from the birth of founding leader, Kim Il Sung. Kim was born in 1912 — known in North Korea as Juche 1, making this year Juche 104.

Now, this new time will put Pyongyang half an hour behind Tokyo and Seoul. North Korea seems to be doing whatever it wants and we won’t be shocked if they declare in the near future that they are not part of this earth anymore…
