Korean Age FAQ

What is my Korean age?

Korean counting age (세는나이) starts at 1 the moment you are born, and everyone gains a year together on January 1st. The formula is: current year − birth year + 1. Someone born in 1994 is Korean age 33 during 2026.

What is the difference between Korean age and international age?

International age (만나이) is the world standard: 0 at birth, +1 on each birthday. Korean counting age is usually 1–2 years higher because it starts at 1 and increments on New Year. If your birthday has not passed this year it is 2 years higher; once it has passed, 1 year higher.

Did Korea change its age system?

Yes. In June 2023 South Korea standardized international age (만나이) for legal and administrative use, so official documents now match the rest of the world. Traditional counting age is still common in casual conversation, which is why seeing all three numbers is handy.

What is calendar-year age (연나이)?

Calendar-year age is current year − birth year, ignoring your exact birthday. It is used for things like school grade and military service eligibility, so everyone born the same year shares it.
