Stray Kids' youngest member, I.N, just barely made it into the year of the snake—his birthday is on February 8, 2001, which is only a few weeks after the turn of the Lunar New Year. This will definitely be his time to shine as an idol born in the year of the snake!

Born on October 8, 2001, Huh Yunjin of LE SSERAFIM is another one of the many '01 liners that fall into the year of the snake. Her representative emoji that you might see on her social media posts is also a snake, which is perfectly-suited to her birth year.

Leader and eldest member of iconic second-generation boy group SHINee, Onew is one of the younger '89 liners that still falls into the year of the snake—his birthday is December 14, 1989. He's a respected industry veteran who shines in the face of adversity.

STAYC boasts three members who were born in the year of the snake—Sumin was born on March 13, 2001; Sieun was born on August 1, 2001; and despite being born in 2002, Isa was born before the turn of the Lunar New Year on January 23. It'll be a great year for STAYC, no doubt about it!

TXT's Beomgyu

Coincidentally, just like STAYC's Sumin, Beomgyu of TXT was also born on March 13, 2001! That means that his birth date falls under the year of the snake as well. With his hypnotic vocals and stage presence, it just makes sense.
