South Koreans who are two years younger: Generally, with time, a person's age also increases, but in South Korea, the opposite happens. people here are going to look 2 years younger overnight. This miracle has taken everyone by surprise. There is a lot of discussion about this from social media to media around the world. Everyone wants to know how this is possible. We'll tell you, people, out there are going to be 2 years younger. In fact, on Thursday, the South Korean government enacted a new law to calculate the age of its citizens. The government's aim was to standardize the age calculation system. Currently, age is calculated in three ways in South Korea. One is the international Age, the second is the Korean Age and the third is the Calendar Age. As age is measured in three ways, confusion sometimes arises. To remove this now, the government has brought this law, and now under this law, it is necessary to use the standard international age in all official documents from june 2023. That is, instead of specifying the age in three categories, there will be a need to write only one age.
In South Korea, age is calculated in three ways. Of these, there are 2 of their individual methods. One is the international method. It goes without saying that the international system is widespread throughout the world. Now you can learn about the two ways South Korean people calculate their age.
1. Korean System: Under this, when a child is born, the people there consider its age as one year. That is, when a child completes 12 months of birth, he will not be 1 year old, but 2 years old, like in other parts of the world. Besides, people there add a year to it every January.
2. Calendar system: In many places, South Korean people follow the calendar system. It is a combination of international and Korean styles. In this, the child's age at birth is assumed to be zero. However, on the arrival of january 1, 1 year is added to his age. Now understand this, if someone was born on december 31, 1977, his international age would be considered 44, while according to the South Korean calendar year, he would be 45 years old and according to the Korean system, 46 years old.
