You don’t have to call Hugh ‘Eonni’… haha. For those unfamiliar with Korean terms, ‘Eonni’ is a term used by girls to girls older than them and means ‘older sister’. As Hey Eonni was started by Mikyung (who is the wife of Hyunwoo from Talk to Me in Korean) ‘Hey Eonni’ makes sense as a name! But it is actually pretty funny that Hugh is now running it and he is clearly not an Eonni. If you are younger than him (and female) you can call him “Oppa” and if you are younger than him (and male) you can call him “Hyung”.

I did find it amusing that Hugh had to fill several orders of EXO ramen this morning.

We show you some of the things available on Hey Eonni and also open up some amazing fan mail!

The Hey Eonni store is very much Hugh’s project. He has taken over it from our friend Mikyung and has lots of plans for it. We also have a subscription box in the works. There will be gradual changes made to the store over the next few months, so please give suggestions!

We are trying to sell products that are hard to get internationally, also with cheaper shipping because most sites charge a lot for shipping. Eventually we want to be sourcing some products from artists and artisans in Korea who want to reach a larger market. I’ll also be selling some of my own paintings and prints there as well.
