   2023-06-28 The day when all South Koreans became a year or two younger.

   It was the day when the new law to officially and legally adopt the International Age system went into effect.

   Although there are still a few areas where the traditional Korean age system is still used, like when men are called for military service, it is only temporary. The traditional Korean age system is now only used as a personal preference.

   #Kcontent #Hallyu fans can forget about converting ages. From hereon, just use your International Age.

   Of course, for #Kdrama which were filmed prior to this law, and K-drama set before this law took effect, expect it to be in the traditional Korean age system (which makes sense, especially for historical dramas).

   This also means, #Kpop celebrities and idols, and the rest of the South Korean people, are now going to celebrate their #birthday on their exact date of birth.

   I wonder how this will affect the Korean culture that revolves around ages, some examples are:
   1. Use of respect words.
   2. Who sits at the end of the table.
   3. Who will pay for meals.

   In the traditional system, since everyone turns +1 in age on New Year's day, most are of the same age for a whole year.

   But in the International Age system, you only add 1 year to your age on your exact birth date.
