The 'Korean age' has been a major point of interest that local media often mention when introducing Korea, and with the announcement that it will be integrated with the international age through the law revision, several Brazilian media outlets focused on reporting this news.

Director Kim Cheol-hong mentioned that it has often been challenging to explain the Korean age to foreigners, but with this revision, he is glad that he can be one year younger and avoid complicated explanations, which is seen as a positive development.
