Korean pop culture, in numbers

Korean actors who are Capricorn

857 Korean actors, singers and other entertainers were born between 22 December and 19 January. 643 of them are named on this page. They are 9.3% of the 9,249 people we hold.

We are not telling you what this means

A star sign here is arithmetic on a birth date, not astrology. We do not say what Capricorn is like, because we have not measured anything that would let us say it.

We did test the nearest thing to a claim. Across 1,047 Korean actors who reached a Netflix chart, the spread across birth-year animals was indistinguishable from chance. That test is here, with the working shown.

Some of the names

Ordered by how many Wikipedia language editions carry an article about them. That measures how widely someone is written about, not how good they are, and it favours people who have been famous longer.

A dash means we hold no figure, not a zero.

Find someone by the exact day

This page groups a month of dates together. If you know the day, the birthday pages are the faster way in — one page per calendar day, and one per month.

Where these numbers come from, and what they do not say

Sign boundaries move. They shift by a few hours from year to year, so the published dates are an approximation. 57 of the people here were born on a boundary day and may fall the other way in their own birth year. We do not silently pick one — we count them here and tell you the number.

214 of the 857 people in this sign are counted but not named. Their only name on Wikidata is written in Korean, and this is an English-language site. We would rather count someone and not name them than leave them out of the count.

A bigger sign does not mean more people are born under it. The signs are not the same length (29 to 32 days), and who has a Wikidata entry is decided by editors, not by us.

The other signs

What this split is

Korean entertainers grouped by the western star sign their birth date falls in, counted from Wikidata birth dates. The sign is arithmetic on a date, nothing more.

Not this. This is not astrology and we make no claim about what a sign means. We tested the nearest thing to a claim — whether a birth-year animal predicts reaching a Netflix chart — and the spread was indistinguishable from chance.

Sign boundaries shift by a few hours from year to year. We use the widely published dates, so someone born on a boundary day may fall the other way in their own birth year. Each page says how many of its people are on a boundary day.
