Regardless of age, I use honorifics with everyone in case I'm not close to them, however there're some Koreans who use 반말 with anyone younger than them. Personally, I find it a bit rude and impolite.

@Gongbuhaja oh okay. 👍🏻 when would you use formal speech then? Like ‘요’

@Joy_Peters
~요 is not like extremely formal. It's probably the most basic 존댓말 form. I use ~요 all the time. :)
