Seoul is 13 hours ahead of Washington, D.C.

There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.

Practically speaking, Washington, D.C. and Seoul never share office hours; 13 hours of separation keeps their days apart. To talk live, someone has to flex: an early start in Washington, D.C. can catch the tail end of the day in Seoul, or the other way round. One seasonal catch: Washington, D.C. springs forward and falls back, but Seoul doesn't, so the gap changes by an hour for several months of the year.
