Frequently asked questions ❓

Not yet. As of 2026, 2028 is still about 2 years away.
Korean elementary school starts in March of the year a child turns 7 in Korean age, so a 2028 baby would begin in 2035. Middle school follows in 2041, high school in 2044, and legal adulthood arrives in 2047.
2028 is the year of the Golden Monkey. In the sexagenary cycle it's Mu-sin (戊申), and because the heavenly stem carries the element Earth (土), the animal picks up the color Golden. One catch: the tti turns over at ipchun, around February 4, so a birthday before that counts as the previous year's animal.
Yes. 2028 runs 366 days and February goes all the way to the 29th, so some people born in 2028 only get a real birthday every four years.
