South Koreans set to become younger as traditional way of counting age scrapped​

​

South Korea on Thursday passed laws to scrap its traditional method of counting ages and adopt the international standard – a shift which will make its citizens either 1 or 2 years younger on official documents.​

​

Koreans are deemed to be a year old when born and a year is added every Jan. 1. This is the age most commonly cited in everyday life.​

​

A separate system also exists for conscription purposes or calculating the legal age to drink alcohol and smoke, in which a person’s age is calculated from zero at birth and a year is added on Jan. 1.​

​

Since the early 1960s, however, South Korea has for medical and legal documents also used the international norm of calculating from zero at birth and adding a year on every birthday.​

The confusing array of systems will disappear – at least on official documents – when the new laws that stipulate using only the international method of counting ages take effect in June 2023.​

“The revision is aimed at reducing unnecessary socio-economic costs because legal and social disputes, as well as confusion, persist due to the different ways of calculating age” Yoo Sang-bum of the ruling People Power Party told parliament.​

Jeong Da-eun, a 29-year-old office worker, is happy about the change, saying she has always had to think twice when asked overseas about her age.​

“I remember foreigners looking at me with puzzlement because it took me so long to come back with an answer on how old I was.”​

“Who wouldn’t welcome getting a year or two younger?” she added."​

giocando un po' con Google maps e il misuratore di distanze, la linea dovrebbe essere quella che va dal porto di Genova-Sestri Ponente, al punto italiano più a nord in Val Ferrera, oltre la diga della Val di Lei, 237 km

In quello screenshot hai inserito un'altra curiosità geografica: lo scambio di territori dopo la costruzione della diga di Lei: il rettangolo svizzero che comprende la diga è stato ottenuto cedendo all'Italia la parte più settentrionale della valle.
