There’s something called Korean age, which basically adds one or two more years to your age (like we need it!). A lot of people have a hard time calculating their Korean age, but it’s easy, yo. Check out this video for a super simple Korean age calculator formula 🙂
The Korean age system basically adds 1 year (or two years) more than your actual age. Many people don’t know how to calculate their Korean age, but it’s pretty simple. Try this super simple Korean age calculator:
(This year – Your Birth year) + 1 = Your Korean age
Example:
(2012 – 1990) + 1 = 23
(2012 – 1982) + 1 = 31
And don’t worry about your birthday. It doesn’t matter if it passes or not. Korean age is calculated by year (not by birthdays)!

LOL I’M 14 IN KOREA I’m currently 11 actually but my b-day comes in a couple of days<3
How are you 14 in korean age if ur 11 in international age
I’m 14. I’m twelve but Turing 13 this year
So, if someone was born on 16th May 1993, what Korean age is he/she?
24 years old.
2016 – 1993 = 23
23 + 1 = { 24 }
I born in22 september 1995 what is my korean age ?
2017-1995=22
22+1=23
you just have to add one year to the real age lol
If you’re birthday hasn’t passed yet then you have to add 2 years instead of 1 year.
Why is that?
That’s just how it is.
Does it makes me 32 after I turned 30 this year in Korean age?
Why are ppl so dumb omg
how can you be surprised anymore
I was born at April 9 2003 . What is my Korean age ??
You are 15!! Just like me!!!
and like me 😀

Uh I’m 17 in Korea although im 15???
I’m 19 although I’m 17 I don’t like this who wants to be old
wait… if i was born on October 23, 2002 should I say +1 or +2…
In Korea you are 17.
+2 cuz your birrhday hasn’t passed yet.
2017-2002+1=16. I would be 16, I’m only 14 right now. My birthday is in September btw…

So if I was born in 2001 Then what age am I?
So if I was born in 2001 Then what age am I?
My birthday already passes it was March 31st
You would be 17 in Korean age. 2017-2001=16+1=17
here is a simple guide on how i, and other people who can read and do simple maths, have broken down this article to work out our k ages:
(current year) – (birth year) +1 = k age
if you read the article, which i’m sure would lead to the same understanding i have gathered, it DOES NOT MATTER what month or date you were born on
in conclusion; learn to read and realise your 1 in 365(or 366) day of the year does not matter to koreans
i am korean and i think this article is wrong.
it is not just +1.
if your birthday passed this year then +2
if your birthday doesn’t pass yet then +1
for example, if you were born in 1993, your age is 23 or 24 right? your korean age is 25.
here’s how to calculate.
if your birthday passed this year (like march 10th), your age is 24 right? then +1. 24+1= 25 years old
if your birthday doesn’t pass yet (like november 5th), your age is 23 right? then +2. 23+2= 25 years old.
in korea, age is getting old when turning to next year.
and when a baby is born, he/she is 1 year old.
so when you are born in 1993,
1993 1 year
1994 2 years old
1995 3 years old
1996 4 years old
1997 5 years old
…
2015 23 years old
2016 24 years old
2017 25 years old.
january 1st~ december 31th= all same age.
so a baby who born in december 31th is very sad.
because he/she will be 2 years old next day.
i have bad english skills but hope you will understand.
oh i want to fix this. i was confused. this article isn’t wrong.
OK I’m 20 in Korea ? I’m happy then
born 1997
2017-1997=20+1=21 years
Actually my international age is 13 so what is myy korean age?
Simply
+1 if your birthday has passed yet, otherwise
+2 if hasn’t passed yet.
My birth year is 2005
I was born on October 24, 2002 whats my Korean age ?
I’m 16 in Korea, cool
What’s my Korean age if I was born in December 5th 2005
14 years because:
(2018-2005)+1 = 14
So I’m 13 because
(2018-2006)+1=13
What is my age octuber 26 1999
I’m. 24 what is age in Korean
So I was born on May 23, 2005 and it says here that if you birthday has passed +1 year to your current age and if it hasn’t otherwise, add 2?
2019 – 2005 = {14} + 1 = {15} or {16}?
What age Am I really in Korea?
You’re 15 since your bday has already passed!
