abra 40,910 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Even Koreans don't know wtf is going on with their age system Friday, May 01, 2015 minho, suho 5 comments Article: 'Dugeun Dugeun India' Minho, "Fought with Suho several times, we were close but grew apart"Source: Newsen via NateMinho to Suho, "Do you know that I'm really sorry to you, hyung? We used to be really close, remember? But we've grown apart, haven't we."Solo interview: "I fought with him several times. Thinking about it now, I think it was my fault. I'm the same age as Suho hyung but hyung started school earlier than me. I used to call him hyung in the past but after I debuted, I felt like the age hierarchy was all jumbled up so I asked Suho hyung if we could just be friends (drop the honorifics). I thought it would be more comfortable for us but I think I hurt his pride. I really just wanted to help hyung but I think it made us grow further apart and I hated it. Hyung hadn't debuted at the time when I asked (if we could be friends), and I think that was my fault."(usually those born in January~March/April-ish are considered 'early born' and can be friends with people born in the previous year and are usually considered older than people born later in the same year because it also means they are a semester older in school.. CONFUSING AF IK but you would still call a sophomore your hyung when you're a freshman even though you're the same age. Suho was born in May, Minho in December... technically Suho is not an 'early born' but he somehow got into school a semester earlier than Minho making him his hyung WHILE IN SCHOOL.. but outside of school, it stopped making sense for Minho to continue calling Suho hyung because their birth months don't reflect it anymore.. hence the confusion and Minho wanting to simplify it.) -1. [+454, -47] All this age hierarchy is the problem... if you're not in school anymore, that stuff should be dropped.2. [+430, -28] I was curious so I looked it up. Suho was born in May '91 and Minho was born in December '91... so I honestly don't understand why Minho needs to call Suho hyung. Does Suho demand all of the people born in '91 to call him hyung too?3. [+403, -24] Not a big deal but... maybe Suho entered school faster? Or not? But either way, they're both '91ers so they should be able to drop the honorifics. I understand Minho.. they're the same age, why should he call him hyung?4. [+58, -2] Minho just wanted to simplify their relationship for their debut because it's weird that they're both '91 but he calls him hyung... I think the issue goes deeper with Suho more than just age because they probably grew apart with Minho debuting first since naturally it creates a barrier since Suho hadn't debuted yet.5. [+56, -13] Suho kind of seems like he has a lot of pride for no reason6. [+54, -1] I remember a fan who asked if she should call him oppa or Suho since she was a '91 too and he asked her to call him oppa... I think Suho's the one breaking all of the age relationships. SHINee's Key was born in September '91 but calls Suho by his name while SNSD's Seohyun was born in June '91 but calls him oppa... and Minho was born in December '91 but calls him hyung...7. [+50, -5] I hate it when people who are just a few months older than you try to act like your hyung or nuna. They're always the one messing up the hyung nuna relationships in a group.8. [+46, -3] Then why doesn't Suho call Xiumin hyung when Xiumin was born in March '90? He just calls him by his name and speaks informally... meanwhile Lay, who was born in October '91, calls Suho hyung ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ What in the world is going on with their age relationship ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹9. [+40, -3] Suho, you're hopeless. You're both born in '91, why should he call you hyung?10. [+36, -2] Suho should've been grateful that Minho suggested they drop the honorifics since they're both the same age but Minho debuted first, making him his senior.11. [+29, -3] I thought it was just the EXO fangirls who were screwed in the head but the members are screwed too. Why in the world would a December born '91 call a May born '91 hyung?-Source: Naver1. [+3,968, -167] They're both so handsome2. [+3,629, -91] They seem like they're close, considering they studied overseas together and trained for a long time. Keep up your great friendship!3. [+3,186, -106] Minho and Suho seem to look out for each other4. [+2,476, -74] So great to see their friendship5. [+531, -27] I think Suho got his pride hurt because he was used to Minho calling him hyung but then he debuted and wanted to just be friends... Sure it'd be fine to drop the honorifics if they both debuted and did well but I'm sure Suho was hurt having someone who called him hyung suddenly want to stop just because he debuted. Maybe Suho has his own story too... we should try to be more understanding. Minho's still cool for continuing to call him hyung out of respect! ^^6. [+538, -142] But Suho is seriously screwing up the age relationships... He's not even considered an 'early 91' since he was born in May. With his logic, he'd have to call someone born in March hyung too which doesn't make sense. He clearly cares too much about his pride..7. [+417, -42] Suho's not even an early '91 ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Suho was born in May and Minho was born in December ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹8. [+390, -20] I can understand why Suho would get his pride hurt when he was still training and Minho got to debut but wanted to stop calling him hyung now. As for Minho, he just wanted to simplify their relationship since it is pretty complicated.9. [+391, -37] Xiumin's the real saint here for putting up with Suho10. [+303, -8] If you think about it, there are a lot of idols who have their age relationships all wrong ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Suho, Woohyun, DO, Kai ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ As the saying goes, put INFINITE, EXO, and SHINee in the same room and you end up with Sunggyu and Sehun speaking informally to each other ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lully 1,779 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The age thing should really just go. I'm not Korean tho, so I can't do anything about it personally.

vortex 7,015 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't get the calling someone a hyung/nuna if they're only like a few months apart. Jackon's only a few months apart from JB but he calls him hyung. I think if you respect each other all will be fine and their won't be any troubles. I can't really say anything though, because I'm not Korean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stateofwonder 793 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 No comment on what is a better way. They should work out between themselves. But it's funny if Minho calling Suho as a same age friend made them grew apart. Korean people get closer more easily if they can talk like they are the same age. Being chingu should make them closer. Taemin and Kai get along just fine despite Teamin debutting first, and obviously one of the contributing factors is because Kai as an early 94er is on the same level with Taemin a 93er. It's the "huyng" and the sunbae-hoobae that create the distance. 1. [+3,968, -167] They're both so handsome lmao @ relevant top comment XD True though.

babystep 5,035 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't get the calling someone a hyung/nuna if they're only like a few months apart. Jackon's only a few months apart from JB but he calls him hyung. I think if you respect each other all will be fine and their won't be any troubles. I can't really say anything though, because I'm not Korean. But JB is born in January 1994 means he's considered a 93 in Korea. So, he's born in the year before Jackson and Jackson has to call him hyung. In Minho's and Suho's case it's because Suho went to school a year before Minho, that Minho calls him "hyung". For me, as a korean, I call my cousin also "unnie" even if we were born in the same year but she also went to school a year earlier than me.

Their hyung/friend calling is really complicated. Infinite is close with SHINee because of Woohyun and Key. Woohyun and Key don't use honorifics to each other cause of their same age. But Hoya is also their age (months younger) but he calls Woohyun hyung. Woohyun is kinda carefree and wants everyone in infinite to be 'friends'. So L, Hoya and Sungyeol etc are friends despite their age gap. Sungjong wants to join the squad and also acts like friends even though Sunggyu can't stand that. What that netizen is trying to say is their age calling is messed up in all three groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willipad 2,723 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I wonder what do shawols have against exo-ls. They already swayed course of the issue to their desire. It's obvious that Minho is the one that wanted to call him that but no...he had to lie and they defend it...tsktsk #prayforexols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
