Born in January or early February 2031?

The Korean saju year starts at Ipchun
In Korean saju (the Four Pillars), the year pillar changes at Ipchun, the start of spring — Feb 4, 2031 at about 09:58 Korea time — not at Lunar New Year. A birthday from Jan 23 to Feb 3, 2031 is already a Pig by Lunar New Year but still 庚戌 (Metal Dog) in a saju chart. Why saju starts the year at Ipchun →
