Frequently asked questions ❓

In 2026, someone born in 1975 is 51 if they've already had their birthday this year and 50 if they haven't. In Korean age they're 52, and their year age is 51.
Counting from 2026, a 50-year-old was born in 1975.
1975 is the year of the Blue Rabbit. In the sexagenary cycle it's Eul-myo (乙卯), and because the heavenly stem carries the element Wood (木), the animal picks up the color Blue. One catch: the tti turns over at ipchun, around February 4, so a birthday before that counts as the previous year's animal.
No. 1975 is a common year - 365 days, and February ends on the 28th.
Korean age starts at 1 the day you're born, and everybody adds a year together on January 1 instead of on their birthday. That makes it one or two years higher than international age. Since June 2023, Korean law, contracts, and official documents all use international age, but you'll still hear Korean age in everyday conversation.
