People born in 2016 are Byeongshinnyeon, which means Red Monkey. Heavenly Stem Yang Fire corresponds to Five Elements and Fire, so they are called red monkeys.
As of 2026, people born in 2016 will be 10 years old if their birthday has passed, or 11 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 2016 and early February may actually be from the previous year, 2015. It is safe to check your exact zodiac sign by your date of birth.
