As you may know, it's very important to call someone in Korean conversation.
Just be careful to call someone older than you, because you can call just the name of them who is younger than you.
if you are a girl(of course, you are.)
오빠 to older man.
언니 to older woman.
if you are a boy,(just know this expression.)
형 to older man.
누나 to older woman.
you can add their name before the position.
알렌 누나
알렌 언니
