It’s Korean culture..hierarchy is ever present
The last reply is right, I also dont like it but its common thing including in work politics in korea. If you read K's secret it takes some time for the bottom to say the tops real name. The bottom here isnt ready yet to actually call him by his name because he thinks its disrespectful, if you notice sometimes hes still speaking to him formally even if they are dating. On the long run the top might ask him to stop calling him that, and he will do so but for now he cant cause thats his boss!! (〜￣△￣)〜
I know, but it is still a pet peeve of mine.
Yep, but I guess it is a PET PEEVE as I think (& YES I KNOW IT IS A WESTERN CULTURE THING LOL) but work is work and play is play!
Thats true but then again korean culture is very strict, theres higher and lower positions, no matter how familiar you get with the other person you gotta still respect them because they are higher. Our little bottom here is also really sweet and kind so he gets run over because hes the youngest and they take advantage of him. But even if its quite annoying I love the part when they eventually say it like the top going "You dont have to call me that anymore, call my by my name, or hyung/ sunbae" and the bottom feels comfortable to do so or the bottom just goes right in "can I call you this"
It also depends on the type of person! Some people even if they have low positions choose to talk informally to higher people sometimes, but the bottom here is such bb :( he doesnt do it
Also I do find it hot whenever they keep calling them director, chief and boss it feels very dominant. For now thats just what the bottom feels like calling him, he still doesnt know him very well, for him its just his boss hes in a relationship with, who knows if it could affect him if they break up etc, calling him chief is all he knows he has a lot of respect towards him
Okay peeps--- I KNOW ALL OF THAT CUZ MY ASIAN FRIENDS EXPLAINED TO ME A VERY LONG TIME AGO ABOUT CUSTOMS ( personally am army brat) OKAY......
However I will put comments in as teaching others about hierarchy, honorifics, etc.
I just said it was MY PERSONAL PET PEEVE------WE ALL HAVE THEM & JUST DEAL WITH THEM FINE after a little comment...... END OF STORY NO HARD FEELINGS ;3
Enough with 'section chief' Jongchan is his name!!! It really annoys me when characters don't use names, but titles when they are having sex or in relationship!
