There seems to be 

> some confusion about the ultimatum's exact deadline.  Ju-Min Park and 
James 

> Person of Reuters report that although the ultimatum 
is "uncharacteristically 

> specific", the deadline is "around 5 p.m. (0800 GMT) on Saturday in 
Seoul". 



Korean newspaper (use Google translate)

http://www.korea-news.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=25029

pointed the deadline as 5:00 pm North Korea time 

(or 5:30 pm South Korea Time):



북한이 서부전선에서 벌어진 남북한 포격 사태에 따라 21일 오후 5시(남한 시간으로 오후 5시30
분)부터 전방지역에 '준전시상태'를 선포한다고 밝혔다.





North Korea has said it declared a "quasi-wartime status' in the front area 
17:00 (South hour 17:30)
