Joshua Hong, born 30 December 1995 in Los Angeles. Here is what his chart says about the independence everyone notices and the cooperation they miss.
Joshua's chart is soft Wood in dry summer earth, with more of the same Wood in the year and a deep pool of Water in the month beneath it. The reading compares it to a cat, and the comparison holds up.
Independent by default, comfortable on his own, and not interested in showing everyone everything. The Water in the chart is what gives him that privacy: it is the element of depth and of things kept below the surface. He has one more layer of it than Jeonghan, whose chart is otherwise very close to his, and that single layer is the whole difference between Jeonghan's warmth and Joshua's cool.
But it is a cooperative cat. The soft Wood at the centre is the kind that grows with others rather than alone, so he works happily inside the group and gives it what it needs. He simply keeps one room that nobody enters. The reading also notes a resemblance to TWICE's Mina: quiet, contained, and not in a hurry to be fully known.

READ MY SAJUThe reading sees him doing advertising and modelling work for a period after the group's active years, then marrying in his late thirties, and the partner is more likely to be from his American life than his Korean one.
After that the chart points away from entertainment altogether: a small business run with family, and not in Korea. For a member who has always kept part of himself elsewhere, that is not a surprise. It is the private room, finally with a door.
Jeonghan first, obviously. Their charts are almost the same drawing with one extra brushstroke of Water on Joshua's, and that is why they are inseparable without being alike.
DK is the useful contrast. DK's chart is open, tearful, everything on the surface; Joshua's keeps everything under it. Put them together and the group gets both a window and a door.

READ MY SAJUJoshua was born on 30 December 1995. His chart reads 乙亥 for the year, 戊子 for the month and 乙未 for the day. His Day Master is 乙 Wood, in its inward, yin form.
No. His Western zodiac sign is Capricorn, which comes from his birth month alone. Korean astrology builds a chart from his birth year, month and day, so it reads differently and in more detail.
His chart reads as a cat: independent, comfortable alone and private, with one more layer of Water than Jeonghan that keeps things below the surface. The soft Wood at its centre still makes him a willing team player.
Yes, but it is a cooperative independence. He works inside the group without friction and keeps one private room nobody enters. The reading sees him eventually building a quiet life outside the industry and outside Korea.
A full Korean astrology chart has four pillars: year, month, day and hour. The hour pillar needs an exact birth time, which K-pop idols do not make public, so this reading works from the three pillars a birth date establishes.
