Actually you substitute the actual year with your birth year, so : 2017-2002 = 15
If you already had you birthday, you add 1 year, then you're 16
If you didn't you add two years (and you're 16 again)

When babies are born, they are already 1yo(year old).
Then they "grow up" every 1st of January, not on their birthday. Basically, during their birthday, they get gifts but they don't grow older.
*These are the differences between Korean age and Western age:*
- When you are born, you are already 1 in Korean age (0 in western age)
- In Korea, you age on the New Year (not on their birthday like westerners)
You can be 1 year older in Korean age, but also 2 years older.
*To calculate your Korean age, just use this:*
- When you've already had your birthday this year:
Korean age = Western age + 1
- When your birthday is later this year:
Korean age = Western age + 2
*Let me give you an example to make it a bit more clear:*
Emma is born on 06th July 2017
(In Korea she is already 1, remember?)
Korean age: 1
Western age: 0
Difference: +1
It is New Year 🎆🎇
(In Korea everyone turns 1 year older. But westerners stay the same age)
Korean age: 2
Western age: 0
Difference: +2
It's Emma's birthday 🎂
06th July 2018
(In Korea you don't age on your birthday. Westerners turn 1 year older)
Korean age: 2
Western age: 1
Difference: +1
Another ways to calculate korean age:
Current year - Your birth year (Subtract your birth year from the current.)
Your age + 1(Korean age) => Korean age

Yeah
Since your birthday has not passed yet, it adds two years.
14 + 2 => 16
If your birthday has passed already (After next one month), it adds one year.
15 + 1 => 16.
You are 16 in Korea now.
