What is korea date format?

Korea uses the traditional East Asian year counting system, where the year is counted from the founding of the country (2333 BC by myth). However, in everyday life, Koreans also use the Gregorian calendar and write the year in Arabic numerals (e.g. 2021).

The typical date format in Korea is YYYY.MM.DD (e.g. 2021.08.15). It follows the order of year, month, and day, with dots as separators. This format is used in official documents, contracts, newspapers, and everyday life.

In some cases, Koreans also use the format of DD/MM/YYYY (e.g. 15/08/2021), which is more commonly used in Western countries. However, this format is less common and more likely to be used in written communication, such as emails or messages.
