 "Oppa saranghae!" (I love you Oppa!)
On my prevoius post (read here) we talked about different Korean family title and on this post we will explore this title - Oppa.
Korean dictionary defines Oppa ( 오빠 ) as “older brother of a female” but now it has evolved into an endearment. These days, young females, teens, and/or women  usually carry on this as an endearment and this is not exclusively for boyfriend/lover but also for male celebrities they like/love/fancy.

Passionate girl fans for a male celebrity are often referred to as oppa troopers or oppa groupies or oppa budae (오빠 부대), because whenever a celebrity appears, a horde of girls run after him screaming "Oppa! Oppa!! Oppa!!!!!"

According to Ask a Korean - "Personally, oppa totally works on the Korean, perhaps because being called by that term is a rare occurrence for the Korean since he has no younger sister. (Knowing this, however, the Korean's non-Korean dude friends sometimes call the Korean oppa, stirring up murderous rage.) So far, it has not made a difference if the term came from a Korean or a non-Korean. However, the Korean has also heard from other Korean American men that hearing oppa from a non-Korean is actually a turn-off."

Moreover,you can usually hear "Oppa" on drama series.


Despite being younger, I thought I was your Oppa.

In Korean drama Flower Boy Ramyun Shop,"Oppa" gets special attention because Girl 1 (So-Yi) introduces Guy 1 (Ba-Wool) to another oppa of hers, but doesn't really make it clear whether she means a just-friends/older-brother oppa or an I'm-dating-this-person oppa. So Guy 1(Ba-Wool) assumes the latter, and is undoubtedly right.
On different scene, Guy A (Chi-Soo) flies into a jealous rage when Girl A ( Eun-Bi) describes Guy B (Kang-Hyuk) as her oppa, again, because the context is not clear and Guy A guesses that she means the romantic oppa and not the older-brother oppa.

 Even though calling a guy oppa can be no more exciting than calling an older woman *ajumma, if said with the right tone of voice, it indicates that you like a guy as more than just a friend. And who doesn’t like being liked? It’s flirtatious, and flirting is usually exciting.

So who's your oppa?
