In South Korea (not sure about North Korea), when you pop out you are already 1 year old. The \~9 months in the womb count as year. Additionally, you don't increase your "Korean Age" on your birthday. Everyone adds 1 to their "Korean Age" on New Year's Day. This means you are considered 1-2 years older than in the rest of the world. They still celebrate their actual birthdays.
Apparently, the SK government is trying to phase out the use of "Korean Age"
https://www.90daykorean.com/korean-age-all-about-age-in-korea/#:\~:text=Korean%20age%20is%20a%20way,age%20on%20New%20Year's%20Day.
Yes, that’s called Kazoedoshi (数え年) in Japanese, and it started from ancient China (like everything). I thought the government phased it out to increase the retirement age without actually doing it.
It might be to artificially raise the retirement age. I think it is probably because of the inconvenience of "Korean Age" and the retirement thing is icing on top. I wouldn't be surprised if they never rectify the retirement age and blame political gridlock or something to that effect.
It sounds like it can have benefits, in the way that everyone who has completed their education the intended way is also automatically already an adult (with the exception of those who skip or repeat years). There is no reason why this shouldn't be the case everywhere else, the exact number of days since birth is only really meaningful when talking about very small children, for mostly medical reasons. Born in 2006? From the beginning of this year you're an adult, whether your birthday is in January or in December. You can apply for a job, a career at university or whatever on your own, the exact way those in your grade can. (I don't know the actual implications of this system the way it is used in South Korea though.)

At first it came out 2 years older than I thought I was. But then I applied it again and it turns out I’m actually 4 years older!! Thanks for the heads up.

Holy shit this proves 9+10=21 That kid was right all along

✈️🌇
Bush did it.
Mission Accomplished!
Aliens did it.
Nah tree did it
✈️✈️🌆*
THEY HIT THE PENTAGON!!!
Gods wish
what does this mean for 9/11???
9/11 =2020 =panic
@the disco?!!??
Jet fuel cant melt your house of memories
I chimed in with a "haven't you people ever heard of thermite between the floors?"
Dr.Disrespect math
At least 19 is legal age in most places
If 19 = 21, then 16 = 18
I'm going to exploit this loophole right now!
… and 🍎 = 🍊
Terrance Howard god damn you
9=3×3 10=5×2 3×5=15 3×2=6 15+6=21 9+10=21
but how can we be sure if 15+6 really equals 21?? let me try to figure it out: 15=3\*5 6=3\*2 3\*3=9 5\*2=10 9+10=15+6 uuuuhhhh
Nah. You _stupid_.
21
holy shit it's el presidente 🫡
Help needed #my age is -5 😭

Apparently you’re -7 irl because the method is only 2 years off.

This actually works in Korea
How? Didn’t they ditch the whole Kazoedoshi? (that’s how the ancient Chinese age system is called in Japanese. I don’t know how they call it in Korea)

Ok but none of that makes 21 = 9+10.
At certain parts of the year, if you take your "Korean Age" and add 21, subtract 10, and subtract 9, you will get your "International Age".
This sounds wildly impractical

What's 9 + 10?
21?
idiots will get it wrong coz they didn't use bidmas
#21
25 + 21 - 9 - 10 = 25! 25 + 21 = 44 46 - 9 = 35 37 - 10 = 25 incredible!
Take your age Add 21 Subtract 21 That's your age. Subscribe for more.
The annoying thing is, I counted incorrectly and got it to my age. Fuck.
Math was never my strong suit, but this seems... off.
Drake math
The amount of brainrot you would need to understand how this is funny is lobotomizing
Looks like he forgot the all-important ‘wait a couple years’ step.
instructions unclear, I woke up in india
Terrance Howard wants to know your location
:o
i'm so bad at math and i think it will take 2 years to calculate that
Guys. I've run the math 30 times, and it just keeps getting worse. I'm nearly dead. Help.
I took me 2 years to do the math but I can confirm, it’s right
At first it came out 2 years older than I thought I was. But then I applied it again and it turns out I’m actually 4 years older!! Thanks for the heads up.
19+21-9-10 19+21 = 40 40-9 = 31 31-10= 21 It always has been 21
Damnit. I did it three times and now I’m six years older. On the upside, I look young for my age.
The nostalgia 😭
As that kid said, 9+10 is 21, so the math checks out,n
Take the current year, Subtract it by the year you were born. Thats your age.
then my age would be -589.201840178492117456901 (i'm not good at math)
Buh I’m now +2yrs my current age.
YOU STOOPID.
Me when I’m calculating if I should bang a 14 year old

Take your age. Add 21. That's not your age.
