Boys call their older brothers/older boys 'Hyung'.
Girls call their older brothers/older boys 'Oppa'.

Boys call their older sisters/older girls 'Noona'.
Girls call their older sisters/older girls 'Unnie'.

The older sibling/older person calls the younger person 'Dongsaeng', no matter what gender.

A more experienced person or upperclassman is called 'Sunbae', and the less experienced person or underclassman is the 'hoobae'.

These are the basic rules, or at least the way I got it. Maybe they were kidding around or parodying someone when they said it ?


exactly my point

Oh my Jesus! Thanks for posting this. I've been debating if I should actually thank you because I'm now stalking his videos lol.
he's cute *_* but talks like a gangsta lol

i think it was in that blog post that describes the OPW maneuver. i love it. i laughed so much when i read it because was still watching YB at the time and Uee did it so many times lol
Ok, that Oppa manual made me look at that guys videos, and I found this to be HILARIOUS!!!

(It's talking about Hyung and stuff, so I think it's ok to post it here.)

My favorite part is from 1:42 to 2:00 minutes. :D
omg i totally think i fell in love with him XXDDDD
I'm always happy to contribute to the convo :-p

I fully support the posting of hot guys in any thread regardless of their relevance, but that may just be me, lol. I haven't seen all his videos, but he does speak often about his experience as a Korean American, which I enjoy.
talking about aegyo XDD

I fully endorse this view....there should never have to be a legitimate reason to post hot guys in threads.... the fact that they are hot is reason enough :-D
Oh man, I feel like a total party pooper since I don't think our new friend Tenchi is hot---he gives me too much of a California/Hawaii vibe, and as a bitter and jaded Mid-Atlantic resident, it makes me hiss like a vampire in sunlight. BUT I am glad to hear him say that he finds aegyo gross. My eyes almost rolled out of my head from watching Sunny's aegyo video. I think a separate post to discuss the topic of aegyo is in order.
