  2. Take the year you were born. Let's call it 'x'. X-1 = the year you were conceived. Koreans count the year you were in the womb as the first year of your life. So when you are born, you are one. Then everyone turns the next year on Jan. 1st. So for you, born in 1988, 1988-1 = 1987. 2012 - 1987 = 25. Your Korean age is 25. And Koreans think that everyone in the world does age like this :) Part of my job is teaching them that not everyone counts their age as such. http://malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110309223557AAvpF3A
