7. Helpful Tips
You can always add one of these four words— 오빠 (oppa), 형 (hyung), 언니 (unni), 누나 (noona) —at the beginning or the end of these phrases.
Call your bias 오빠-oppa if you’re female and the star is an older male.
Call your bias 형-hyung if you’re male and the star is an older male.
Call your bias 언니-unni if you’re female and the star is an older female.
Call your bias 누나-noona if you’re male and the star is an older female.
If you’re older than your bias, you can call her/him by her/his name of course!
Simply add the common Korean suffix “씨” at the end of the name.
So for a female fan to say good night to an older male star, it will look like this:
오빠 굿밤! or 굿나잇 오빠!
For an older fan to tell a younger star to sleep tight, it will look like this:
Chungha씨 잘 자요! or 잘 자요 Chungha씨!
