The Saju view
Sean starts on S, Z, SH, CH or J, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the metal group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Sean carries metal. That makes it a natural choice for charts where metal is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, metal gives rise to water, so Sean earns some credit for charts missing water. Charts crowded with metal tend to look elsewhere, as the metal sound of Sean would tip the balance further.
