Dog Years Gave Us Suzy and Hyun Bin. Snake Years Gave Us Kim Woo-bin. The 27-Person Gap Between Them Is Noise.

Here is a question people actually type into a search box: which Korean stars share my zodiac year? It is answerable, so we answered it — and then we checked whether the answer means anything.

The count

1,047 Korean actors who appeared in a title that reached a Netflix weekly top 10 have a date of birth recorded on Wikidata. Sorted by Chinese zodiac year:

Dog years include Bae Suzy, Hyun Bin, Rain, Park Ji-hoon and Ju Ji-hoon. Snake years include Kim Woo-bin, So Ji-sub, Lee Jong-suk, Shin Hae-sun and Jung So-min.

The part most of these lists leave out

Dog has 27 more people than Snake. On a page that stopped here, that gap would read as a finding — the sign that produces stars, the sign that doesn’t.

It isn’t one. A chi-square test on this distribution returns 7.77 against a threshold of 19.68. In plain terms: if you handed 1,047 people out across twelve boxes completely at random, you would expect a spread about this uneven, routinely. Dog leading Snake by 27 is what randomness looks like, not what a pattern looks like.

Being born in one year rather than another does not pick out who reaches a chart. We measured it precisely so we could say that instead of implying the opposite by staying quiet.

What we cannot do, and will not fake

A proper saju needs four pillars, and the fourth is the hour of birth. Public profiles carry dates and almost never hours. That means we can count how a thousand actors are distributed across twelve years, and we cannot produce any one of their charts — not Suzy’s, not Kim Woo-bin’s, not anyone’s. Approximating the missing pillar would produce a reading that looks complete and is not, so there isn’t one here.

Two smaller limits, stated rather than buried. A sign assigned from the birth year alone is wrong for anyone born in January or February, because the lunar new year falls there; those people are dropped from the source data rather than guessed at. And 229 of the 1,047 have no readable pageview figures across the editions we track — they are unmeasured, which is not the same as zero.

So what is the list for

It answers the question that was asked — which stars share your year — and it declines to answer the question that wasn’t. If you were born in a Snake year, you share it with Kim Woo-bin and So Ji-sub. That is a fact about a calendar. It is not a fact about you.
