1. A multilayer electronic component comprising:
a body including a dielectric layer, and a first internal electrode and a second internal electrode alternately disposed in a first direction with the dielectric layer interposed therebetween, and including a first surface and a second surface opposing each other in the first direction, a third surface and a fourth surface connected to the first and second surfaces and opposing each other in a second direction, and a fifth surface and a sixth surface connected to the first to fourth surfaces and opposing each other in a third direction; and
a first external electrode including a first electrode layer disposed on one of the third and fourth surfaces, a second electrode layer disposed on the first electrode layer, a third electrode layer disposed on the first and second surfaces, and a fourth electrode layer disposed on the second electrode layer and extending onto a portion of the third electrode layer,
wherein the first external electrode further comprises a plating layer disposed on a portion of the third electrode layer that is exposed from the fourth electrode layer, and disposed on the fourth electrode layer, and
the first electrode layer comprises the same metal as the first internal electrode, and the second electrode layer comprises the same metal as the fourth electrode layer.
