Tottenham Hotspurs’ star forward, Heung-Min Son, has been part of a strange but real case of ‘rejuvenation’, discounting one year of life to his biological and legal age after his country, South Korea, eliminated a law that had affected the population of that nation.
On June 28, South Korea legally left behind the system that measures the age of its citizens and joined the international systemwhich has caused the 51 million people of that nationality, including Heung-Min Son, to have one year less to live.
All this, because in the aforementioned Asian country, the months of gestation were counted in the sum of the age, that is to say that at birth, a South Korean had one year to live.

To this we must add a strange fact, and that is that regardless of the date of birth, each citizen turned one more year on January 1. That is if a baby was born on December 31, the next day it was already legally two years old.
Having left behind the South Korean age accounting system and joined the traditional method of the rest of the world, Heung-Min Son, South Korea’s best-known soccer player, went from being 31 to 30.
Others who benefit from this are Kim Min Jae, who has just signed for Bayern Munich, and Kang-In Lee, a player for RCD Mallorca.
This decision by the Asian nation undoubtedly helps the career of its footballers since in this sport, many of the players began to lose value in the market after the age of 30.
