Frequently asked questions ❓

In 2026, someone born in 2011 is 15 if they've already had their birthday this year and 14 if they haven't. In Korean age they're 16, and their year age is 15.
Counting from 2026, a 14-year-old was born in 2011.
2011 is the year of the White Rabbit. In the sexagenary cycle it's Sin-myo (辛卯), and because the heavenly stem carries the element Metal (金), the animal picks up the color White. One catch: the tti turns over at ipchun, around February 4, so a birthday before that counts as the previous year's animal.
No. 2011 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.
