Get To Know The Characters of Itaewon Class Through Their Horoscope
Is Park Sae Ro Yi's zodiac sign in Taurus or Capricorn? Let's dissect the personalities of the characters of Itaewon Class through their sun signs
If there’s any big takeaway from Itaewon Class, it would be the strong characters that webtoon writer Kwang Jin had envisioned, and director Kim Sung-yoon had brought to life. Who could forget the silent yet resilient Park Sae Ro Yi, portrayed by Park Seo Joon, who overcame the most trying of circumstances and worked his way up through sheer patience and determination? Or the techy and very marketing-driven Jo Yi Seo (Kim Da Mi) whose knowledge of digital trends and her innate sense of what’s cool helped propel DanBam into a hip bar way before they figured out how to brand themselves?
With such strong characters, we can immediately discern their sun signs by just watching the series. While astrological charts are often more complex as it looks at not just the sun signs but also the moon, the ascendant, or even the inner planets of Mars, Mercury, and Venus—we can already gleam what these characters’ signs are just by how they are portrayed in the drama.
Let us know if you agree with our zodiac casting!

Park Sae Ro Yi - Taurus (Park Seo Joon)
Taureans are known for being determined, almost to the point of being bull-headed, hence the symbol of the bull. When they have a goal, nothing can stop them from pursuing it, no matter what (or who) may get in their way. What’s fascinating is that they do it ever so slowly and deliberately, and even while it may seem like a turtle's pace, this is still suits them.
Park Sae Ro Yi - Taurus (Park Seo Joon)
This is congruous to the story of Park Sae Ro Yi, portrayed by Park Seo Joon. He experienced so many misfortunes in the beginning that it seemed as if he couldn’t possibly recover (from losing his father, to being sent to jail). Yet, he had a dream and he kept at it until he achieved his goal—which was to be as successful as his nemesis, Chairman Jang, and avenge his father.
Park Sae Ro Yi - Taurus (Park Seo Joon)
To many watching the series, this will seem like such a long progression—being in jail for years, and then a 7-year-plan to start a restaurant, even working in a fishing vessel in the process. He built his company from the ground up, naming it Itaewon Class. Taureans, like him, value family and the home, so it was very important that he protects his newfound family which consist of the crew and workers of DanBam.
Park Sae Ro Yi - Taurus (Park Seo Joon)
If we were to go further, he probably has a strong Moon in Capricorn, which is linked more to his hierarchal tendencies and reverence for authority, and how gung-ho he was about doing business the ‘right’ way, along with his sense of justice. But his ascendant is actually Libra, because he is drawn to people and partnerships, and he seems to draw people to him, to leave everything else and work with him. Thankfully, he didn’t get the usual Libra trait of being indecisive, thanks to his many planets in earth signs.
Jo Yi-Seo - Leo (Kim Da Mi)
This one was tough. At first glance, Jo Yi Seo’s antisocial tendencies and love for tech spell very Aquarian, but on the other end, she also has a need to be seen and be noticed, ala Leo. We could say that she has an Aquarian ascendant but her sun sign is Leo. She’s strong, stubborn, and is goal-oriented, so much so that people might find her intimidating and difficult. Leo women often have a strong sense of style (they need to express it), and are often known for their very unique way of wearing their hair (her dip dye locks come to mind).
Jo Yi-Seo - Leo (Kim Da Mi)
She’s bold and strong, and is comfortable in her own skin. If you mess with her, you’ll feel her wrath, and we do know how vicious Yi Seo’s temper can be. Plus she’s one to make you feel her displeasure.
Jang Dae Hee - Capricorn (Yoo Jae Myung)
Chairman Jang is actually a lot like Park Sae Ro Yi, so why we think his sun sign is Capricorn (Park Sae Ro Yi's moon sign), which is often attributed to those who do business very well. Those born under the sign of Capricorn are often very ambitious, and they are not afraid of sacrifice. They’re natural leaders and are often quite successful. The thing is, because of their nature, they tend to go for what will be practical and most efficient, and can often be misunderstood. They have very high standards, like Chairman. As for all the shenanigans, we can probably attribute that to a strong Scorpio influence that gives a darker bent to their personality that is often rooted in revenge.
Oh Soo-Ah - Virgo (Kwon Nara)
Meticulous, efficient, and quite organized, Oh Soo Ah is the ideal executive. She’s practical and kick-ass when she wants to get things done. It’s no wonder that Chairman Jang chose to invest in her, notwithstanding the fact that he wanted to control her. She’s part of the strategic planning group of Jangga, and struggles between being loyal to her childhood friend who has loved her for years, and the man who raised her.
Jang Geun-Soo - Sagittarius (Kim Dong Hee)
Fun-loving, adventurous, without a care in the world, the Sagittarius man is optimistic and likes going with the flow. Like Jang Geun Soo, when he was being bullied at home, he sought to strike out on his own and carve out his own destiny. What he needed was someone to believe in, and he found that when he met Sae Ro Yi because he felt that he was a “real adult.” Yet he also has great potential to lead, because he’s also a good student of life.
Choi Seung-kwon - Aries (Ryu Kyung Soo)
Park Sae Ro Yi’s cellmate in prison, Choi Seung Kwon is a hothead, and often gets into trouble because of his temperament. Like the Ram, he speaks with his actions, even becoming a gangster at some point. Aries works really well with Taurus because they feed off of each other’s energy and keep each other in check, much like how Sae Ro Yi and Geun Soo are in Itaewon Class.
Kim To-ni - Cancer (Chris Lyon)
This DanBam part-timer turned out to be someone with a pretty cool backstory—he has been trying to find his father, and ended up finding his grandmother instead. He’s caring, emphatic, and his history of searching for his family links him to a North Node in Cancer. He is nurturing, and in turn, seeks to be nurtured.
Jang Geun-won - Scorpio (Ahn Bo Hyun)
At first glance, Jang Geun Won seems like a Scorpio because he’s easy to anger, quick to react—but Geun Won is more water than fire, he is actually quite emotional, but has been keeping it hidden inside, which is why his ascendant is probably Aries, and his sun sign is Scorpio. They crave intimacy and belonging, and if they don’t receive this, they tend to be harsh. Their entire lives are quite intense!
Ma Hyeon-ri - Gemini with Aquarius Rising (Lee Joo Young)
Such a chameleon! The character of Ma Hyeon Ri struggled with its transgender self throughout the series, which is shown through the many physical transformations of DanBam’s resident chef. Gemini pertains to a mercurial duality, and can even look as if they have two different personalities.
Ma Hyeon-ri - Gemini with Aquarius Rising (Lee Joo Young)
Geminis are adaptable and can make very quick improvements—and we know that Hyeon Ri’s cooking skills got an upgrade after a masterclass from picky eater Jo Yi Seo. Geminis are also known to be witty (and they lock cracking a joke), plus they’re can be quite detached. Here's where it gets tricky—Hyeon Ri has a very altruistic and visionary perspective, and she has a strong sense of community, which is why we think she has some Aquarius in her as well!
