Hanja spellings as published in Korean-language profiles and press; where we could not confirm one we say so rather than guess. Birth dates as publicly listed. The day-element reading follows traditional naming practice (작명) and is offered for cultural interest.
Every Korean has a day element from their birth date (the “day pillar” in a 사주 chart). In naming practice, parents often choose hanja whose element balances or feeds the child's own. The most common day element among aespa members is 🌿 木 Wood. Curious which element your own name should carry? Check your birthday in the free generator — it uses the same day-pillar calculation.
