Korean culture question: Why is number 9 cursed?
I'm currently watching Gag Concert and there was an old segment called Sistar29. I wonder why the NUMBER 9 is cursed? If I hear this right, "아홉수라그래". I thought NUMBER 4 only has a negative meaning.

Question

Answer

9 isn't a cursed number in general, but it only applies to the age, being the last one before the higher digit increases.
19 -> 20
29 -> 30
39 -> 40
49 -> 50

People say that there is a toll to pay to enter the next decade of life. That's all.
