The Last Hour would affect (most terribly) the wicked persons.

Sahih Muslim #301It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Sahih

The (Last) Hour shall not came till the sun rises from the place of its setting And on the day when it rises from the place of its setting even if all the people together affirmed their faith, it would not be of any avail to one who did not believe previously and derived no good out of his belief.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #2401Anas bin Malik narrated that the Allah's Messenger (s.a.w) said:Da'if

"The hour shall not be established until time is constricted, and the year is like a month, a month is like the week, and the week is like the day, and the day is like the hour, and the hour is like the flare of the fire."

Sunan Abu Dawud #4314Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying:Sahih

The last hour will not come before rising of the sun in its place of setting. When it rises (there) and the people see it, those who are on it (the earth) will believe. This is the time of which the Qur’anic verse says: “. . .no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith."

Sahih Muslim #7161Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Sahih

The Last Hour would not come until there would arise about thirty impostors, liars, and each one of them would claim that he is a messenger of Allah.
