What is Korean Age? 韓国式の歳とは？ 한국 나이? Korean age is different than the age used in most countries. The whole concept of age is deeply embedded in the Korean language and culture. Korean age is a way that Koreans calculate their age. It is always one or two years more than your international age (or Western age). Korean age is different than international age because of two reasons. First, you are automatically one year old at birth. In Korea, on the day of your birth, you are considered to be one year old; the time you spent in the womb counts as the first year of your life (despite it only being nine or ten months). Because of this, your Korean age is always at least one year higher than your international age. Second, you age another year because of the turn of the calendar year. Therefore the change of the year on January 1st automatically advances your Korean age by one. Your date of birth doesn’t affect your Korean age.
