How will honorifics work in Korea now that they changed to international age?

  • Is anyone considered chingu as long as the age gap between individuals is less than 12 months, even if they're born in different years? Or is it only during the time when people's ages match up that they are chingu, then when one person's birthday comes, they'll change to an unnie/noona/oppa/hyung and dongsaeng relationship since one person's age increased?

  • idk abt this, but apparently it's only changed legally for documentation and stuff. since it is their culture, they might still use the same system? idk tho

    looks like idols are already reacting to the change but it's still confusing
