Korea has a different way of calculating birthdays.
It is actually a little more complicated than this depending on the month and day of your birthday.
They actually go by solar & lunar (which is around February): Here is an online age calculator if you are interested to see how old you would be in korea!
As you are 1 year old when you are born, and as a new year will inevitably come around before your first birthday, it is impossible to ever catch up to your Korean age. However once a year, on your birthday, you get temporarily closer by one year. So, to put it simply – in a given year, before your birthday, your Korean age is your Western age plus two; after your birthday, it is your Western age plus one.
To calculate your age by the lunar calendar is only slightly more complex; we just need to change “the start of the year” to “the start of the lunar year”. So, go back to the last Lunar New Year and repeat the process. Add two before your birthday, and one afterwards.
