Korea’s Age System Being Standardized

Korea’s Age System Being Standardized

Last Thursday, the South Korean parliament passed a law to stop using South Korea’s two traditional methods of counting age. Frome June 2023, the “Korean Age” will no longer be used on South Korea’s official documents. The age system the rest of the world uses will be utilized to avoid confusion.

A person is already one year old when they’re born, and they gain a year on the first day of each new year.
