A Lil Korean lesson
The Korean honorific system is basically a way of showing respect through language.
Instead of just saying someone’s name, you use special titles depending on their age, experience, or relationship to you.
For example:
선배님 — someone who trained longer / debuted earlier / is above you
언니 — older girl you’re close to (if you’re a girl)
오빠 — older boy you’re close to (if you’re a girl)
형 — older boy you’re close to (if you’re a boy, or if he lets you use it)
누나 — older girl you’re close to (if you’re a boy)
You also bow when greeting people, which is just another way of showing respect.
So instead of awkwardly saying ‘uhh hi,’ you can just say:
안녕하세요 선배님! and bow! ((Yes in Korean culture you bow to someone to show them respect! Most likely going to be a 15-45 degree angle! The 90 degree is only when your apologizing deeply for something!)
It makes everything way less awkward and way more respectful.
