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.

Reading the table

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 ITZY members is ✨ 金 Metal. Curious which element your own name should carry? Check your birthday in the free generator — it uses the same day-pillar calculation.

Want a Korean name chosen the same way? The Korean Name Certificate gives you real hanja, the meaning of each character and your birth-element reading on one printable page.
