How old are you? Depending on which country you're in, the answer might be different, & while South Korean civil law has counted age from a person's date of birth since 1962, the continuing presence of the system commonly referred to as "Korean age" often leads to confusion, & many are now asking if the "Korean age" system should go away entirely.
