Fun fact of the day

This weekend marks daylight savings time in America where we spring forward and begin to have longer days. In Korea we do not have daylight savings time. Although South Korea does not currently observe Daylight Saving Time, the country did adhere to DST from 1948 to 1951, 1955 to 1960, and 1987 to 1988. I'm not sure why this wasn't continued and why there are gaps between the years it was in place. Below is a map that documents the areas of the world that have observed Daylight Saving Time.
