[09.01.23][News] Andy gets addressed as ’sonsaengnim’ by a junior


Singer Andy gleefully shared with fans at his birthday fanmeeting on 21 Jan, that he has been addressed as ‘team-jang’ and ’sonsaengnim’ of late. At the “Happy Birthday To Andy” fanmeeting, Rocky of new male duo Jumper also shared many interesting tidbits about Andy.

When asked about what he usually addresses his producer Andy, Rocky said, “It feels too distant to call him ’sajangnim’ (boss), and calling him ’sajangnim’ seems too old for him, so I call him ‘team-jang’ (team leader) instead.”

After that, fans who participated in the event online quickly reacted, ‘An-teamjang fighting’, ‘From An-sobang to An-teamjang’, ‘막내 (pronounced mangnae - meaning the youngest) Andy is An-teamjang?’

Andy also talked about an incident where he was addressed as ’sonsaengnim’ while filming overseas for a programme in November last year. He was seated next to a member from an idol group, and the junior addressed him as ’sonsaengnim’. Andy said, “Although it was quite a shock but thinking about it, I think that junior is 10 years younger than me.” When asked about the frequent changes of members in idol groups these days, Andy replied, “No comments.”

180 fans from Korea and other countries attended the fanmeeting, at at one point in time there were 35,000 fans online who watched the live broadcast of the event. The total number of viewers came to a staggering 113,533.
