A Personal Note Before We Begin
I want to be honest with you.
I am Korean.
I grew up with BaZi and Saju as
part of my culture — the same
tradition that has been passed
down through generations of Korean
families, the same wisdom that
my own family consulted at
important moments in life.
And I grew up with BTS.
I watched them become something
that no one — not even they
themselves — could have predicted.
Seven young men from Korea who
changed the world not by
becoming something else, but
by being more fully themselves
than anyone thought was possible.
To every ARMY reading this:
the wait is over.
They are back.
And as someone who loves both
BaZi and BTS with equal sincerity —
I wanted to honor this moment
by looking at the seven men
behind the music through the
lens of the tradition I grew up with.
This is my small tribute to BTS
and to every ARMY who waited.
BTS Members’ BaZi Charts:
A Complete Overview
Over the past week, I analyzed
the Three Pillars of all seven
BTS members — using their
publicly known dates of birth
and the traditional Korean Saju
reading method that I have
studied for years.
Here is what the ancient art
of BaZi reveals about each member:
RM (Kim Nam-joon) — 辛丑
Day Master: Yin Metal (辛)
The polished jewel.
RM’s 辛丑 Day Pillar carries the
phenomenon of 금수쌍청 — Metal
and Water double clarity.
A chart built for intellectual
brilliance, philosophical depth,
and a creative voice that refuses
to be contained.
The leader who leads not through
authority, but through illumination.

Jin (Kim Seok-jin) — 甲寅
Day Master: Yang Wood (甲)
The Blue Tiger.
Jin’s 甲寅 Day Pillar is 간여지동 —
heaven and earth both great trees.
건록 energy: self-sufficient,
deeply rooted, and built for longevity.
The eldest brother whose warmth
and golden clarity are written
into his destiny chart.
The oak that weathers every storm
and stands taller for it.

Suga (Min Yoon-gi) — 己丑
Day Master: Yin Earth (己)
The fertile soil.
Suga’s 己丑 Day Pillar is 간여지동 —
earth on earth. Deep, containing,
and capable of growing anything
it chooses. The hidden 辛金 within
his chart gives him the perfectionist’s
blade beneath the quiet exterior.
The artist who creates not for
recognition — but because creation
itself is necessary.

J-Hope (Jung Ho-seok) — 乙亥
Day Master: Yin Wood (乙)
The vine reaching toward the sun.
J-Hope’s 乙亥 Day Pillar is nourished
by deep Water beneath, and his
丙寅 Month Pillar blazes with
식신 energy — the BaZi signature
of joy expressed through art.
Wood energy woven through every
layer of his chart.
The sunshine that was never
a performance — it was always real.

Jimin (Park Ji-min) — 丁丑
Day Master: Yin Fire (丁)
The candle flame on frozen earth.
Jimin’s 丁丑 Day Pillar carries
식신묘고 — a treasury of talent
stored deep within, released
with explosive power on stage.
도화 magnetism that cannot be
explained — only felt.
The candle that gives everything
and always finds more to give.
→ Read Jimin’s full BaZi analysis
V (Kim Tae-hyung) — 乙未
Day Master: Yin Wood (乙)
The winter flower.
V’s 乙未 Day Pillar carries
백호살 energy — the White Tiger
that appears gentle but commands
an entire room with a single look.
간여지동 Wood identity that has
never compromised its authenticity.
The artist who blooms in winter
and makes the whole world stop
to look.
→ Read V’s full BaZi analysis
Jungkook (Jeon Jung-kook) — 丙午
Day Master: Yang Fire (丙)
The blazing sun at peak power.
Jungkook’s 丙午 Day Pillar is
간여지동 and 帝旺 — the emperor’s
peak, heaven and earth both ablaze.
식신묘고 talent released with
explosive force. In 2026,
his 복음년 arrives — the year
the sun returns to its own position.
The Golden Maknae who was forged
in fire and never feared the heat.

What BaZi Reveals About BTS as a Group
Reading all seven charts together
reveals something extraordinary.
These seven men carry between them
almost every major Day Master energy
in the BaZi system — Metal, Wood,
Earth, and Fire all represented,
in both Yin and Yang expressions.
Where one member is strong,
another provides balance.
Where one chart lacks an element,
another carries it in abundance.
In BaZi, we call this
상생 (相生) — mutual nourishment.
The Five Elements supporting
each other in a continuous cycle.
BTS is not just a group of
seven talented individuals.
From a BaZi perspective, they
are a complete elemental system —
seven different energies that
create something together that
none of them could create alone.
This is perhaps the deepest
BaZi explanation for why BTS
has always been greater than
the sum of its parts.
2026: The Year They Return
2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse
(丙午) — a double Fire year.
For every single member of BTS,
2026 activates something powerful:
- Wood members (RM, J-Hope, V, Jin)
— Fire is their 식신, the energy
of creative expression at full power - Fire members (Jimin, Jungkook)
— Fire amplifies their core nature
to its absolute peak - Earth member (Suga)
— Fire is 정인, the energy of
deep nourishment and recognition
Seven members. Seven different
elemental responses to the same year.
All of them pointing toward
the same moment.
This comeback was always written
in the stars.
A Final Word: To ARMY
I have been waiting for this
comeback with the same anticipation
as every ARMY reading this.
As a Korean person, watching BTS
carry our culture, our language,
and our tradition to every corner
of the world has been one of the
most profound sources of pride
I have ever experienced.
They went into the military —
as every Korean man must —
and they came back.
Not diminished.
Not changed into something smaller.
They came back as themselves,
only more.
To every ARMY who waited through
the solo eras, the military service,
the long silence — your patience
was not just loyalty.
It was love.
And they know it.
ARIRANG is here.
BTS is back.
And if the BaZi charts of seven
extraordinary men have anything
to say about it —
this is only the beginning.
Welcome back, BTS.
The world missed you.
