EXO's Chen be gettin' dem... ahjummas?


As Sehun and Chen were the temporary DJs on 'Sukira' on January 11, a situation came up from a fan who said that mothers (ahjummas) tended to like him. Sehun said, "I think mothers like Chen a lot."


Chen was able to relate, stating, "There's that, too.  It's embarrassing to say myself, but even when I'm on the streets, there are times mothers recognize me."


Despite this love from older women, it appeared Chen disliked saying "noona," which is the word used by younger men to address older women with whom they were on familiar terms.

Chen said, "I don't use the title 'noona.'  Of course, I don't do that from the get-go with someone, which is rude.  Seeing as how I get to know them for a long time, we get close, so I act comfortably around them," suggesting the 'noona' barrier would naturally evaporate after they get closer.


Sehun said at first, "Even so, you can't do that," then contradicted himself with, "Honestly, I don't use the 'noona' title that much, either."
