South Koreans are going to become "younger" as their traditional #age system is scrapped. There's something sad about a #tradition being abolished in the name of global #standardisation. I remember a Korean student explaining to me that he was 30 in Korean years, when the records said he was 29. In South Korea, you are traditionally 1 when you are born.
