South Korea is finally about to join the international norm for counting age, leaving behind its traditional system, which counted newborns as one-year-olds. The law, which will be enforced from Wednesday, will only affect social settings and workplaces as the government processes and those regarding voting, retirement, and social security already follow the calendar age or the international standard.
