Sun Sign: Aquarius (Air)

So... almost half of iKON are Aquarians. Honestly, that makes a lot of sense. iKON is a pretty weird group, and Aquarians are weird. But, like, we’re proud of it! (I’m also an Aquarius, so I have to refer to Aquarians as ‘we’ - deal with it). We are very authentic to who we are, and we don’t apologize for being ourselves. I can definitely see this in Chanwoo because he doesn’t hide what he likes - baseball and video games. He doesn’t ever apologize for playing video games for hours on end or for watching baseball games while he’s getting his hair and makeup done. He also isn’t afraid to be sassy and savage to his hyungs; he doesn’t act like a typical maknae. He’s truly himself, and that’s a sign of a genuine Aquarius.

Aquarians are also known for being big humanitarians. We like to help people, and we are very focused on making the world a better place. We’re usually very involved with charities, fundraisers, food drives, or anything which brings awareness to the worlds’ problems. Chanwoo participated in the ice bucket challenge, and I feel he truly wants to use his talents to make people happy - not only because he has a passion for entertaining.

On the other hand, Aquarians are known for being very reserved when it comes to showing our emotions, and Chanwoo has said before he’ll leave a room when he needs to cry. He doesn’t like crying or showing a lot of emotion in front of people. I can totally see Chanwoo’s Aquarius traits coming through in the personality he’s shown us on iKON TV, variety shows, and his Instagram.

Moon Sign: Capricorn (Earth)

So not only is there a lot of Aquarius in iKON (Jinhwan, Yunhyeong, and Chanwoo), but there’s also a lot of Capricorn (Jinhwan is a Capricorn Moon, just like Chanwoo, and Donghyuk is a Capricorn Sun). Overall, iKON is a totally good mix of all the signs. There’s lots of Air, lots of Earth, some Fire, and even a little water sprinkled in. They’re so well-rounded!

I view Capricorns as being the most conservative Earth sign. They’re very practical, logical, and they can be kind of know-it-alls. We will see in Chanwoo’s MBTI, he’s a Thinker, so the logical aspect of Capricorn definitely applies to him. Out of all the members, he’s the only Thinker, so his Capricorn Moon really shines when he steps up with the “now, wait a minute, let’s think about this.” Like in the hidden camera episode of iKON TV when he was very wary about investing in that fake scheme.

Capricorns are also known for being honest, sometimes brutally so. This is Chanwoo’s savage side, and we all know he has one. They don’t sugarcoat things, and, as I said earlier, they think they know everything. So if a Capricorn thinks you’re wrong, you’ll hear about it. They’re not extremely arrogant or presumptuous, though! As any earth sign, Capricorns are extremely down-to-earth.

Capricorns are also known to be extremely loyal and very family-oriented. They put their loved ones first. I think we definitely saw this in Chanwoo during one of the first episodes of iKON TV when he was totally humoring Yunhyeong. He was trying to help him and make him feel better and giving in to his cheesy requests. It was so sweet, and it was so Capricorn of him.

Chinese Astrology: Fire Ox

In Chinese astrology, the Ox is seen as a ‘hard and detailed worker who performs all tasks in a determined and disciplined manner.’  They know what they want in life, and they will not let any setbacks stop them from achieving their dreams. While I think this describes just about every kpop idol, I definitely think it really applies to Chanwoo because he was the last addition to the group. The other iKON members didn’t even want a seventh person to join, but Chanwoo worked his way in - literally. He worked hard on his dancing and singing because he was previously only an actor, and look where he is now! I know all of iKON and all of iKONics are so proud of him!

The Ox is somewhat of a deep thinker and can be quite serious. Chanwoo is definitely a thinker, and while he’s not a deep thinker like Junhoe, a fellow Fire Ox, he’s more of a logical, rational deep thinker. He takes his time thinking about decisions before he makes them.

The fire Ox, in particular, is known to be an influential and firm person as well as a durable and thorough worker. They tend to have very strong views and opinions; they do not have patience when things don’t go their way. These traits definitely apply to Chanwoo’s savage side. He’s totally the definition of Evil Maknae, and the members have even described him as ‘Cheeky.’ This, to me, shows he has strong views and is impatient. 

Numerology: Life Path 9

In numerology, 9 is seen as the most evolved with the strongest vibrations because it’s basically all of the other numbers wrapped up together. Life path numbers are only single digit, so it’s the highest number possible when it comes to this sort of numerology; therefore, it’s seen to be the oldest and wisest. I feel like this totally makes sense with Chanwoo because, even though he’s the youngest, he doesn’t really act like the youngest. He acts like he’s one of the oldest, to be quiet honest. This, I feel, is totally both his Capricorn moon and Life Path 9 coming through.

Those born with the life path number 9 are, in turn, seen to be old souls. We’re here to really develop spirituality, integrity, and wisdom in every aspect of our lives (I’m also a 9, so I use possessive pronouns here, too!). I feel like Chanwoo actually is working on developing his spirituality by involving himself in the activities he likes: video games and baseball. This might seem weird to some people, but spirituality really has nothing to do with religion. It’s about concerning yourself with your own soul/spirit, and what could make your soul more healthy than doing what you love, right? The fact he devotes so much time to doing what makes him happy is, in my humble opinion, a clear sign he is developing his spirituality.

Probably the most important piece of advice for a 9 is to go with the flow. Don’t get stuck in the past and learn to live in the present and embrace the future. Chanwoo needs to make sure he doesn’t get stuck on the fact he was the last member just kind of thrown into the group; even though he wasn’t a trainee for as long as everyone else, that doesn’t mean he’s not as valuable or doesn’t work as hard! He needs to focus on how hard he is working now and what he brings to the group now.

MBTI: ISTJ

Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Judging

Chanwoo is Introverted which means he gains energy from being either alone or with a small group of friends. I think the fact he likes playing video games is a clear sign he’s definitely an Introvert. He also likes baseball which is a pretty individualistic team sport, and he can spend a lot of time watching it alone.

Chanwoo is Sensing which means he learns through experience and using his senses. He looks at the details more than the big picture, and it’s difficult for him to imagine the possibilities of a situation. I know I keep bringing up video games and baseball, but they totally fit into his personality!! Video games and sports are very sensory, so it just makes sense why he’s so into them.

Chanwoo is Thinking which means he makes decisions more with his head instead of his heart. He is more logical and rational, and he is likely to make choices which make the most sense - not choices which necessarily make him feel better.

Chanwoo is Judging which means he prefers to live his life in a more organized manner. He’s probably not as spontaneous as other - think Junhoe - and he values structure. It also means he shows his Thinking trait the most to the world.

The ISTJ personality type is known as The Logistician. They are no-nonsense types who take time to analyze their surroundings and are known for their integrity, practical logic, and tireless dedication to duty.

Sun Sign: Taurus (Earth)

I’m going to be honest, I was more than a bit surprised to find out BamBam was an Earth sign. He definitely seems like he would be a fire sign! Like, he’s really not a Sagittarius? Are you sure?

I do see a lot of Taurus traits in BamBam, though! Taurans are known to be very supportive and romantic as well as dedicated. BamBam is certainly dedicated to Got7, his hyungs, his family, and his fans. He’s a true fan service king which also supports the romantic trait. In addition, they are also smart, very ambitious, and trustworthy. While BamBam seems like he would totally be a snitch because he just can’t keep his mouth shut (am I right?!), he’s definitely trustworthy in that he’ll do what he says he’s going to do. He can keep a promise, and that’s a very Taurus trait.

Another Taurus trait BamBam definitely personifies is having a tendency to like the finer things in life. A Taurus really likes to indulge themselves, and BamBam? Yeah, he definitely does that. He loves clothes and fashion, so I’m quite positive he indulges himself when it comes to his wardrobe. He also indulges himself when it comes to any sort or meme or trend (i.e. dabbing, running man, bottle flipping, you name it). 

Taurans are also very honest and genuine. BamBam does not put on a show, even when he’s being wild and crazy - that’s just who he is. He shows fans his true self, and he has since the beginning. With a Taurus, what you see is what you get, and so it is with BamBam, as well.

Moon Sign: Pisces (Water)

Pisces are also known for being romantic, just like Taurus, so whoever ends up in a relationship with BamBam will be very happy! He will treat you well! They also tend to be very affectionate, understanding, and compassionate. Underneath BamBam’s crazy exterior truly does lie a soft heart. While he’s not as emotional as other members in Got7 (definitely not as emotional as Jackson), he does have a fiercely loyal and loving heart. It’s very easy to be friends with him because of this.

In addition, Pisces signs are very intuitive and creative. We will see later in BamBam’s MBTI that he is, in fact, intuitive. He has a great capability to think abstractly, and I truly believe this helps people become more intuitive about their surroundings. I also see BamBam using his intuition because he keeps up with all the latest memes and trends - it sounds silly, but it’s true! He’s very observant with what’s going on in the world. And creative? Yes, BamBam is definitely creative. He writes some amazing songs, he’s a fantastic rapper, and he can even play the piano! He’s very musically talented!

Chinese Astrology: Fire Ox

Aha! Here’s the Fire I knew existed in BamBam!

Fire oxen tend to be clever and quick-witted, and I’m not sure I know of anyone who's quicker with a comeback than BamBam. They’re also known to be a bit unstable with their emotions and moods. They can change quickly, and this can sometimes make it difficult to maintain a relationship with them, whether it be a friendly or a romantic relationship. We know BamBam can be very romantic, but I do see him as someone who might get bored easily or will move on quickly. 

Oxen are also very honest and dependable, two traits BamBam also gets from his Taurus sun sign. He’s definitely one of those people who will tell it to you straight, and he’ll be honest even if you don’t want him to be.

Numerology: Life Path 6

Again, a lot of the traits of those born with the life path number 6 are very similar to those we’ve already talked about in BamBam. 6s are very family-oriented (BamBam bought a house for his family when he was only 18 years old), they’re very romantic (something we’ve discussed more than once), very supportive, loving, and artistically creative. All things we already know BamBam is!

BUT 6s can also be a bit indulgent, just like a Taurus can. They can be irresponsible and non-committal, which we touched in in BamBam’s Chinese Zodiac sign - he does seem like he would be the type to move on quickly and not fully commit to something - besides being a living meme, of course. He’s just so out there and crazy, it seems like it would take a lot for him to settle down.

MBTI: ENTJ

Extroverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging

Um... are we surprised BamBam is Extroverted? Not only is he extremely outgoing, he also loves going out and doing things. He loves being around people; they give him energy, which is very evident when he performs. He’s always doing something crazy, and you can tell the crowd only gets him riled up and energized.

BamBam also typed as Intuitive which means he’s able to think abstractly and understand the big picture before looking at the details. He can use his imagination to gain knowledge about situations rather than having to experience them himself. He doesn’t need to rely on his senses to learn; he’s much more able to learn using his creative power and vision.

Something a bit surprising to me is that BamBam scored as Thinking rather than feeling. He thought for sure he would be feeling because he is very romantic and seems to be pretty soft-hearted. But he scored a 12 on the thinking scale and a 2 on the feeling scale. So it’s pretty obvious he’s a major thinker. He doesn’t let his heart or emotions rules his decisions; he is very rational and logical, and he trusts that logic to help guide him through life.

BamBam also typed as Judging which means his thinking function is more dominant than his intuitive function. It also means he probably prefers to live his life in a more structured, organized manner. He likes to plan things out rather than being spontaneous and going with the flow.
