How Korean Age Works

Quite a number of people has asked me how Koreans calculate their ages, so here's simple explanation/ guide.
I hope I'm right.

here's an exception - she's alway 18

Basically, Koreans calculate their ages the same way Chinese used to do it - you're born as a 1-year-old, and for every new lunar year, you gain +1 bonus to your age.

So a quick way to find out how old your favorite idol (which I hope is T-ara) is to just add 1 to the idol's age after the idol's birthday of the year is over.

How JangWoo Kissed HyoMin and JiYeon

Just in case you're wondering...


If you want to hear him singing the song leading up to the kiss, go to 25s.

Is that JiYeon?

According to JiYeon's English Wikipedia page, she appeared in this music video: (if anyone knows where I can get a high quality version of this, please let me know)


I had a look and discovered that Shin Bong Sun was in it too.

Remember These?

Once upon a time, there were 2 very popular YouTube videos...

...one was "JangWoo Enjoys SoYeon's Sexy Dance" and the other, "T-ara Before and After Makeup"; however, even though the videos were not even 30 seconds long, they were still taken down by the copyright owners, together with the YouTube account...

... but they're back!
