2. North Korea does a lot of insane things, but this doesn't happen to be one of them.

Unfortunately, the infotainment industry that is currently masquerading as our news media doesn't want to explain it, because the actual explanation is quite trivial.

During WWII Germany occupied western europe, and changed all their time zones to match the Berlin time zone. After the war, each country changed back to their original time zones.

Likewise, during WWII, Japan occupied east Asia, and changed the time zones of Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Korea to match the Tokyo time zone. After the war, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan changed back, but the Koreas didn't. All North Korea is doing now, is changing their time zone back to what it was before the Japanese occupation. Sure, they're making a fuss about it, and using it as an excuse to drum nationalistic hatred of the Japanese. But, unlike much of what Un does, this at least has a rational explanation.
