South Koreans are set to become one or two years younger after the country’s parliament on Thursday passed laws to abolish the traditional method of calculating age.
SEOUL —
The so-called “Korean age,” determined by birth year rather than the exact birth date, is still widely used in social situations in the country. The hodgepodge of three different age-counting methods often left South Koreans confused about how old they were depending on the circumstances they are in.Presidential spokesman Lee Jae-myoung said the simplified age system “follows the global standard and puts an end to unnecessary social and economic confusions.” The change is expected to address domestic as well as international communication issues caused by difference in age-counting methods.
