Life expectancy at birth is the average number of years a newborn would be expected to live if current age-specific mortality rates stayed the same. For male Koreans in recent years, this figure is about 81 years, so 81.2 years is the best match. The other numbers aren’t measures of longevity: 87.2 years would be more typical for female life expectancy, 2.83/1000 is a crude death rate (deaths per 1,000 people per year), and 51,966,948 is a population size, not a longevity statistic.
