🤗 Hey there~!
Hi everyone~ 😊
Today, we’re talking about a topic that’s kind of… cute 👀☺️
The topic is…
“Why do Korean guys melt when they hear the word ‘oppa~’?” 😳💘
Let’s find out! 😄
🤔 Isn’t “oppa” something you call your older brother?
That’s right!
“Oppa” is a word used by a younger sister to call her older brother in Korean.
But in Korea, it’s also commonly used between couples 😉
When a younger girlfriend has an older boyfriend,
she often calls him:
“Oppa~” 💕
Yep — it’s super common (and yes, Korean guys love it 😂).
