Korean Celebrities Born In The Year Of The Tiger

2021 has passed and 2022 is officially here. According to the Korean zodiac, it is the Year of the Tiger. Let's take a look at what celebrities were born in the Year of the Tiger!

What Is The Zodiac?

The 12 animals of the zodiac come from the belief in 12 gods facing 12 directions who guarded the land. Their bodies were shaped like a human body and their faces were those of animals. This Totemism faith is thought to have originated from Buddhist and Taoist ideas, and many East Asian countries believe 12-year cycle zodiac system.

Each guardian deity symbolizes the year in which people were born and each year is the year of a different guardian animal. In Korea, the order of the zodiac animals are rat - ox - tiger - rabbit - dragon - snake - horse - sheep - monkey - rooster - dog - pig. The guardian deity symbolizing 2022 is the tiger!

In Korea, there is a concept called "ddi" (띠) in relation to the zodiac. For example, people born in the Year of the Tiger have a "tiger ddi" (호랑이 띠). Because the zodiac signs repeat every 12 years, 2022, 2010, 1998, 1986, and so on, people born in these years are all tiger ddi.

People born in the same ddi are called "ddi-dong-gap" (띠동갑), meaning you have the same sign. You may be born in the same year, or there could be an age difference by a multiple of 12. Now, let's see what celebrities were born in the Year of the Tiger and have the same ddi!
