Yang Metal: raw steel, the blade, the axe. Strong, decisive and fiercely loyal, you protect your people and say what others won’t, and your glow is chic, clean and confident.
Personality
The Steel vibe
The classics call Gyeong (庚) metal “the strongest and toughest of all,” with a bit of a killer edge. You decide fast, act faster and can’t stand unfairness. You’re honest to the point of bluntness, loyal enough to fight for your friends, and secretly sentimental. A fun detail from the classics: Gyeong “beats its big brother Gap but loses to its little sister Eul.” You can stare down anyone tough, but soft, sweet people melt you instantly.
Your glow
Beauty energy
Your glow is chic and clean: defined brows, sleek hair, clear eyes and a don’t-mess-with-me cool that turns warm the second you smile. Like steel, you’re polished by experience. The classics say metal turns clear with water and sharp with fire, and every challenge you take on makes you more striking.
Self-care rituals
Little habits that suit you
Sweat it out: boxing, running or a hard spin class. Physical intensity clears your head.
Cool-down skincare: a refreshing gel cream and chilled eye patches after a long day.
Soften the edges: a weekly “soft day” with music, a bath or a slow café visit.
Style & palette
Your colors
Monochrome and sharp: black and white, leather jackets, tailored suits, crisp shirts, chunky boots, silver jewelry. A sleek low ponytail or slicked-back hair, a clean cat-eye, matte skin, a cool rose or bold red lip. K-pop “girl crush” energy, whoever you are.

Seoul spots for you
Where you’ll glow
- Seongsu-dong
Old factories and warehouses turned into cafés, pop-up stores and studios. Raw steel with a creative edge.
- Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)
A futuristic building wrapped in silver aluminum panels. Your aesthetic, turned into architecture.
- Apgujeong Rodeo Street
Gangnam’s fashion street, full of edgy shops and K-pop history. Walk it like a runway.
Love & work
How you shine with people
Love
You love like a bodyguard: protective, loyal and quietly romantic. You show affection through actions rather than words, and you never forget a promise. Gentle, soft-spoken people win your heart, so let them see your softer side too.
Work
Leader, fixer, the one who makes the hard calls: law, engineering, sports, tech, security, startups. You thrive on challenges and clear goals. Vague rules and endless meetings test your patience.
Chemistry & caution
Good to know
Best match
Flower (乙) is your romantic combo: 乙 and 庚 combine in saju, the soft “little sister” who melts your heart. Candle (丁) refines you the way a forge turns raw steel into a fine blade, and Ocean (壬) brings out your clarity; the classics say metal turns clear with water.
Watch out for
Words can cut deeper than you mean them to. Count to three before going full honesty mode, and remember that resting isn’t losing.
From the classics
滴天髓 · On the heavenly stems
庚金帶煞，剛健為最。得水而清，得火而銳。土潤則生，土乾則脆。能贏甲兄，輸於乙妹。
Gyeong (庚) Metal carries a killing edge, the strongest and toughest of all. With water it turns clear; with fire it turns sharp. Moist earth gives it life; dry earth makes it brittle. It can beat its big brother Gap (甲), yet it loses to its little sister Eul (乙).
