The creators note says 36 so idk what's up with the years...
I took it as he meant 40 years since he was first in the village, met the mum ect
Oh yeah like it's been over 40 years since they first met.
That's what I thought omg
OOOHH okay makes sense
I thought he was rounding it up. Also assuming he left before hyeonji knew she was pregnant, it’s technically been 37 years since he left.
Almost 40 or roughly 40yrs... it's been too far long, 1-2 more years don't really matter
He's 40 years old?!!
