04Workflow clock vs server clock
The workflow settings pin the timezone to Asia/Seoul so Schedule fires at 9am in that zone, then a Code node prints $now (which follows the workflow timezone) next to a plain JS Date (always UTC). The two describe the same instant differently.
Best fordiagnosing a schedule that fires at the wrong hour
