About the time in Ch'ŏn'gye-ri
Clocks in Ch'ŏn'gye-ri stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +9 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in North Korea.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Ch'ŏn'gye-ri day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 00:00–08:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 05:57 and sunset at 07:23 local time, giving 13h 26m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.02, 125.61) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ch'ŏn'gye-ri.
