@Drope In Korea, you start out as 1 year old when you're born. Plus, everyone gets an extra year added to their age on New Year's Day, no matter when their birthday is, so it's like an advance birthday. So, let's say ML was born in 1994 and his birthday is in November (which hasn't passed yet since it's still August today). He'd be 29 in international age. But in Korean age, he'd be 31 because they start at 1 and add another year each New Year's.
It'd be like:
• (Present year) - (Birth year) + 1 [If your birthday has passed]
• (Present year) - (Birth year) + 2 [If your birthday hasn't passed yet]
That's why Koreans are usually 1 or 2 years older in Korean age compared to international age. Hehe, hope that helps!
