Korean New Years: everyone gets older?
So I was listening to this Korean culture podcast about how native Korean count their ages. I new it was a little different from our western sistem, but it sounded a little confusing.
Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong: everyone is born already aged 1, and when it is Korean New Years, everybody gets one year older?
Is that the main idea, at least?
