People born in 1980 are Gyeongshinnyeon, which means White Monkey. Heavenly Stem Yang Metal corresponds to Five Elements and Metal, and is called a hundred-colored monkey.
As of 2026, those born in 1980 will be 46 years old if their birthday has passed, or 47 years old.
People born in the year of the Monkey are like this. Talented, smart, and quick-witted. Rich in curiosity and humor.
However, there is one thing to note. In Myungri, the standard for the Chinese Zodiac sign is not January 1st but Ipchun (立春, around February 4th every year) . So people born in January 1980 and early February may actually be from the previous year, 1979, under the Year of the Sheep. It is safe to check your exact zodiac sign by your date of birth.
