Love is in the air almost all the time in South Korea. In fact, one can say that there are 2 valentines celebrated in that country. on 14th Feb, women have to profess their love for men and on 14th March, men have to do the same! Wow!



Complicated Age Calculation

The way South Korean's calculate their age is extremely complicated. Contrary to other countries, the child is 1 right at the birth. One year is again added to the age when the New Year starts on 1st January. For example, if a kid took birth on 5th December 2017, his age is 1 year and on 1st January 2018, his age will be increased to 2 years. Strange, isn’t it? Crazy!

The Weird Belief
