Still Waters Posted December 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (IP: Staff) · South Koreans are set to become one or even two years younger - at least on official paperwork. On Thursday, the South Korean parliament passed a law to scrap Korea's two traditional methods of counting age. From June 2023, the so-called "Korean Age" system will no longer be permitted on official documents. Only the standardised, internationally recognised method will remain. The government is fulfilling a campaign promise to reduce confusion by adopting the same system used in the rest of the world. Currently, the most widely used calculation method in Korea is the so-called "Korean age system", in which a person is one year old at birth and then gains a year on the first day of each new year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-63903771 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
