Another year means another set of Korean actresses and actors are turning 30. While some see it as marking the end of their youth, others feel it as the start of entering mature adulthood.
However, there’s a different way Koreans calculate their age and it's always one year more than the international age. This is because they consider a year in the womb as counting toward their age.
Interestingly, it means that people born in 1994 are about to hit the big 3-0.
From top stars to rising stars, here are K-drama actresses who are bound to welcome their thirties.
