  2. I was told “oppa” was just brother, and here in the states I say brother a lot. So if I called JiHoon brother just because I’m older that would be wrong? or is just saying oppa?

    • Oppa is what younger females call an older man who is either their blood brother, or a very close family friend, or their older boyfriend. Some women even continue to call their fiance “oppa,” and sometimes even their husband (though that is seen as immature and frowned upon). The key is the guy is older than you in Korean age, and is someone you know personally, someone you can go to in times of trouble and they will look after you, protect you, etc.

      The exception I’ve seen is between Rain and his Asian fans. He and they have a “personal knowledge thing” between them. I’ve heard it come straight out of his own mouth, he greeted them at a mini-fan meet and said, “Ahhh. Oppa Rain is tired.” Calling himself their “big brother/protector”.

      Stephe ^@@^

      P.S.: Women who date younger guys, I’ve no idea. But I doubt they call them oppa. Anybody know?
