KST is 8 hours ahead of WAT all year.

Neither clock changes for daylight saving, so the gap never moves.

Scheduling a call between WAT and KST

Standard business hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) do not overlap: daytime in West Africa Time falls outside the working day in Korea Standard Time, so one side needs an early morning or late evening.
