Hansol Vernon Chwe, born 18 February 1998 in New York. Here is what his chart says about the firmness under the laid-back surface.
Vernon's chart is open Fire over Metal at the centre, with a double column of tiger's Wood in the year and month and tall Wood standing above it. The reading's first comment is that it looks less like an idol's chart than a lawyer's.
Tiger Wood repeated twice, with the tallest kind of Wood over it, is the picture of logic, order and the organising of thought. It is a chart that builds a position and holds it, and the reading rates him as firmer in his convictions than S.Coups or DK and with more backbone than Seungkwan. None of that shows on the surface. The laid-back Vernon is real. So is the spine.
The reading is honest about the other side of that. A chart leaning this hard toward study, honesty and principle does not lean equally toward idol flair, and it says so. There is a small pocket of Water where the Metal at the bottom of the day pillar meets the Wood, but it sits in a place that does not carry much weight.

READ MY SAJUPlainly: the reading does not see a sudden surge in popularity ahead, and it does not think acting fits the chart either. It says this without malice, as a description of what the pillars are built for.
What they are built for is business. As the years go on the tall Wood only gets stronger, and structure, principle and organisation become more of who he is, not less. The reading sees his second act there rather than in anything closer to art or entertainment.
S.Coups is the contrast the reading draws directly. The leader steers by suggestion and never pushes; Vernon holds a line and does not bend. The group needs both, and the two of them together are its flexibility and its backbone.
Joshua is the other overseas-raised member, and the pairing is instructive: Joshua's chart keeps things private under Water, Vernon's keeps things ordered under Wood. Both are self-contained; only one of them is arguing a case.

READ MY SAJUVernon was born on 18 February 1998. His chart reads 戊寅 for the year, 甲寅 for the month and 丙申 for the day. His Day Master is 丙 Fire, in its outward, yang form.
No. His Western zodiac sign is Aquarius, 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 is heavy in Wood, the element of logic, order and organised thought. He holds a position and does not bend it, making him one of the firmest personalities in the group despite the relaxed surface. The reading says it looks more like a lawyer's chart than an idol's.
Business, according to the reading. It does not see acting as a fit, and the structure and principle in his chart only grow stronger over time. The chill is real, and so is the backbone.
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.
