The country is ending its traditional method of counting ages. South Korean babies are counted as 1 year old when they’re born. Then a year is added to everyone’s age on 1 January. There’s a separate way of calculating age for joining the army or when you can legally smoke and drink. This means starting from zero at birth and adding a year every 1 January. Since 1962, the country has also used the international counting method for medical and legal documents. This can lead to some confusing situations... #southkorea #tradition #age #bts #counting
