South Koreans become two years younger after bizarre rule is scrapped

South Koreans have found a way to be younger after scrapping its traditional way of counting people’s age.

It means that everyone in the country will be up to two years younger today after adopting the normal international way of counting age from their birth.

Up until now South Koreans were deemed to be a year old when they were born and then a year was added on the first day of each New Year.
