Korea uses international age by default in civil and administrative matters. But did you know the age people mention in everyday conversation can be different? Some still use traditional counting age. It depends on the person and the context, not a separate official age for everyone.
One birthday, three numbers. Enter your birthday to compare international age, traditional counting age and calendar age.
Specific laws can set a different rule. This is a cultural comparison, not an eligibility check.
