like someone else said He might have said Noona or noonim in Korean, doesn't necessarily have to translated as sister
I know that noonim refers to an older female in korean but like she's your girlfriend why would you call her that ?
Im late lol but noonim isnt limited to family title. Could also be used as a polite way to call older girls
Isn't that what i just said ?
Why wouldn't he call her that? It is a respectful way for males of addressing females older than ythemselves (which frankly I feel it's kinda rude to constantly keep track of who is older/younger but...) the issue is the translation, they picked the wrong or first option on the MTL
it’s like how girls would call their bf’s “oppa”. it’s like another way of saying “honey” for them. it’s kinda an endearing way to call someone that’s older than you
It's just culture. It's also a term of endearment in SKorea and even in China it's pretty common to call your partners that way.
Why does he call her sister
