The Korean/Chinese Zodiac Sign is a traditional system that categorizes each year according to a specific animal sign. This system, utilized for centuries in Korea and China, is widely observed not only in these countries but also in neighboring regions. The Korean Zodiac, like the Chinese Zodiac, comprises 12 animals, with each animal recurring in a 12-year cycle.
In Korea, the zodiac sign is typically determined based on the lunar calendar, using either January 1st or the beginning of spring (around February 3rd-4th) as the reference points.
Here is the list of the Korean/Chinese Zodiac animals and their order:
Rat – 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
