Horoscopes are always fun to read for the lulz. But rather than looking at the stars to predict your future, have you ever considered looking at something closer to home? According to Koreans and multiple East Asian countries, everything about who you are can be told by your blood type.

There are four different kinds of blood types: A, B, AB, and O. In East Asia, blood types are more than just medical terms; they determine your personality and preference in people, work, and even food. Some of you may have even noticed this obsession with blood types among your favorite K-Pop idol groups, as the name of boy band B1A4 is based on the members' blood types (one B and four A's) and MBLAQ's fan base is called A+ because all the members are A's.  4minute even revealed in the past that member HyunA classified men by their blood types.



Blood type personalities are so different, they even sit differently. Adorable blood type illustrations were made by Korean artist mazingablue. Translations provided by blog, Suyeong Imperfect. 


On October 29, allkpop released a pop quiz asking you, "What Blood type personality are you?" Now, let's look over each blood type personality in detail and see how they affect us in our social, work, and love lives! 


Blood type A - The Role Model


Blood type A's make the perfect role model material because they strive for success, kindness, and polite mannerisms. Although A's get very stressed easily and over think things, A's will try to keep it together and do the best that they can for the sake of order and for the sake of their loved ones during crisis situations.


PROS: perfectionist, analytical, organized, responsible, meticulous, compassionate, earnest, creative, sensible, patient, calm, well-mannered

CONS: stubborn, sensitive, worrywart, obsessive, shy, reserved, self-conscious, uptight




Social Life: Reliable and kind, type A's will care for you like a mother, but will avoid confrontation because they dislike conflict. As a result, they may be passive aggressive when angered or hurt. Because they feel uncomfortable around people and spontaneity, type A's might also feel awkward during crazy parties.


Work life: Very reliable. Type As are perfectionists so their work will be the very best. However, they tend to obsess over details and can get stressed easily. Those who don't understand Type As' anxieties may have a difficult time working with them.


Love life: Type A's don't open up easily because they're self-conscious, shy, and can get paranoid. Those who attempt to court type A's will need to be patient. When a type A does eventually return your love, however, the reward is very satisfying. Type A's are selective, and when they choose you to be their partner, they'll let you in on all their complexities and show you sides that only you are privy to.




Compatible with AB's and O's. AB and O's are reliable when needed the most, which will put an A at ease. A's tend to not get along with B's or sometimes even other As, as B's spontaneity will alarm and unsettle A and two A's may squabble over small details.


Fun facts:

  • Skilled in the arts.

  • Referred to as the "farmers" by some Koreans.

  • Unable to hold their liquor.

  • Apparently do best with vegetarian diets.

Honorary mention: G-Dragon, Krystal, MBLAQ


Blood type B - The Rebel


Blood type B's are rebels who simply can't be tamed. Passionate and driven, B's can be the life of the party as well as ambitious people with big dreams. Although they can be harsh, stubborn, and hard to get along with at times, B's are commendable for staying true to themselves no matter what the rest of the world says.


PROS: passionate, active, ambitious, imaginative, creative, fun, emotionally strong, optimistic, opinionated, independent, unconventional

CONS: selfish, irresponsible, unforgiving, erratic, stubborn, blunt, harsh, hot-tempered




Social life: Fun and wild, type B's are the life of the party. They can be hard to deal with at times, however, because they're stubborn and want to do their own thing.


Work life: Although type B's will aim high in terms of goals, they may be stubborn work partners who refuse to cooperate and would rather do things their own way.


Love life: Partners will always have fun with a type B, but will need to be patient with their hot tempers as well as erratic and irresponsible behavior. Partners will also need to be aware that type B's can be harsh and don't always mean what they say because when a B loves, they really cherish that special someone.


Compatible with AB's and O's. While AB's and B's are both creative types that will have fun together, O's are flexible and will be open to B's wild and mischievous ways. B's will drive A's crazy with their chaotic lifestyle and unconventional habits while two B's may prefer doing their own thing separately.




Fun facts:

  • Guys who are blood type B's are notorious to be bad boyfriend/husband material in Korea. Not only can they be difficult with their type B temper but they are also known to be players and heart-breakers.

  • B's are animal-lovers.

  • They have a strong immune system.

  • They enjoy dairy food.

Honorary mention: Hyorin, T.O.P, Hyunseung


Blood type AB - The Variety Star


AB's are so quirky that they deserve their own variety show. Known for their "split personality," ABs show off an array of different traits from shy to outgoing, rational to irrational, and even calm to crazy. AB's are unpredictable balls of energy, making them some of the most interesting people you will ever meet.


PROS: friendly, adaptable, 4D, interesting, unpredictable, random, imaginative, quirky, highly intelligent, rational, practical, philosophical

CONS: indecisive, forgetful, moody, aloof, emotional, untrustworthy, critical, selfish




Social life: AB's make entertaining friends. They can be quirky and fun, but they are also very smart and can have intellectual conversations. As they can get a bit emotional and unpredictable at times, some believe that AB's are not trustworthy or loyal to their friends.


Work life: Although they will provide entertainment at the workplace, they are not that dependable.


Love life: Having a relationship with an AB is a blast. There will never be a boring moment with an AB. However, as AB's are sensitive and can get emotional at times, they can be a bit critical and hurtful with their words. AB partners need to be understanding of AB's emotional tendencies and know when to give an AB his/her space.




Compatible with everyone. While they can be rational and calm with A's, they can get creative and wild with B's and O's. However, as AB's are intellectual souls, they can also fight with A's if their core values differ. AB's also need to be understanding of B's so that they don't let their banter get in the way of their friendship.


Fun facts:

  • AB's are good with money and are considered the most practical of the blood types.

  • Usually interested in the arts.

  • Considered to be the most selfish blood type since people with this blood type can accept blood donations from all other blood types, but can't give to anyone except for other AB's. 

  • Like A's and B's, will do best eating vegetables and dairy products

Honorary mention: Suzy, Hongki, Jonghyun (SHINee)


Blood type O - The Hero


Blood type O's strive to be the hero of every situation. O's are natural people-pleasers and leaders at heart who want their friends to be happy. They're flexible, open-minded, and easygoing, making them the ultimate companion. 


PROS: confident, competitive, hard-working, honest, expressive, friendly, forgiving, optimistic, strong-willed, intuitive, curious, generous

CONS: aggressive, arrogant, self-centered, irresponsible, dramatic, vain, obsessive, easily distracted




Social life: Blood type O's make reliable friends whom you can count on to be there for you through thick and thin. Honest, O's will be upfront about things. Flexible, O's will be open to whatever you'd like to do without judgment. They can be annoying, however, as they'll strive to be the center of attention.


Work life: O's are obsessed with success and can be passionate, hard workers. However, they can also lose interest in projects quickly. Some O's may need to be monitored to get their work done.


Love life: O's will shower their significant other with love and affection. Partners should be aware, however, that O's will be expecting the same treatment in return.




Compatible with everyone. O's especially work well with A's as they both have good work ethics. As O's are people-pleasers, they'll attempt to make things less stressful for A's. For a fun time, O's love to get wild and party with B's, AB's, and other O's.


Fun facts:

  • Referred to as the "warriors."

  • Apparently are natural athletes.

  • Considered to be the most generous blood type since people with this blood type can give blood donations to everyone else.

  • Do best when eating meat.

Honorary mentions: Baekhyun, ChoA, Yubin
