North Korea decided to set its clock 30 minutes behind the South in 2015.<br />Over the weekend, their time zone was changed back, allowing the two sides to make their daily calls on the hotline at Panmunjom... without confusion.<br /> According to Seoul's unification ministry, the North Korean side called at 9:03 am today.<br />In the past three years the North was not taking the daily phone call at 9, and they could only make contact after 9:30.<br />They also have a regular call scheduled at 4 p.m. to mark the end of the day.<br />The decision to have the same timezone was made by the regime's leader during last month's inter-Korean summit.<br />With that change, what some would call an "abnormal" operation of the hotline has come to an end. <br />
