A note on the calculation

The Chinese zodiac year changes at Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February), not on January 1. This list groups idols by their solar birth year, so anyone born in January or early February may actually belong to the previous animal year — verify against the exact lunar date if it matters to you.

❓ FAQ

What does it mean to be born in the Year of the Tiger?

In the Chinese zodiac, each year is associated with one of twelve animals on a repeating 12-year cycle. People born in a Tiger year share that animal sign. Note that the year boundary is Lunar New Year, not January 1.

How is this list put together?

We take each idol's verified birthdate and group them by the animal of their birth year. Birthdays come from our curated roster of major groups and soloists — only confirmed, public dates are used.
