Almost in every part of the world, a kid turns one when he/she completes a year after birth but in South Korea, a kid turns one just after 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?
South Koreans believe that if a person sleeps with an electric fan on the whole night, he/she will pass away.
