Mini Facts:
-Has told his noona fans to call him 'oppa' if it makes them feel better... Just in case you guys don't know, 'oppa' is 'older brother' in Korean, and only girls can use that to adress elder brothers. 'noona' is 'elder sister' so since it's sulture in Korea to be calling each other those names, Sung-min has told his girl fans that are older than him to call him 'oppa' even if it'll sound really weird. It would be even weirder to address him as a 'namdongsaeng' (younger brother)... LOL... It sounds better to call guys you love 'oppa'.
