89 Korean actors and singers were born in a Rat year. Here they all are.
Read counts are per million reads of the Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai and Malay Wikipedias, 2025-08 through 2026-07, 12 months, human traffic only. Ordered by reads, which is a measure of being looked up.
The year is a label, not a reading. We tested whether the zodiac year picks out who reaches a Netflix chart and the result was indistinguishable from chance. Sharing a year with Go Youn-jung means you share a birth year, and nothing else.

We hold a birth date for these 16 but no read count, because they are not in the panel we measure. They are named here rather than dropped — not measured is not the same as not read.
