In additional to reading the fan translation I'd recommend also going to the source and going through each of the chapters, plus pressing the heart at the end of each chapter - https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_006608_S/episodes/KC_0066080000200011_E?episodeType=first

The mangaka was asking for support with the official release, so I think doing that helps her out.

Hmmm I have a feeling that if I understood Korean culture at all, I would also be really really really happy about a cute girl calling me unnie

Just imagine you went to Japan and a cute girl called you Onee-san (I would probably blush if it came from a Japanese girl)

Man, Solar's got it rough. Her mom is pressuring her to get married, a toxic ex is stalking her, and then an eating disorder from her idol days on top of that...

Evil and intimidating horse lesbian.

Oh boy

I feel like the closest in English-speaking countries would be a cute girl calling you "Mommy"

Wow, funny how that’s the closest equivalent we have in English :D. Personally, I’d say it’s like a cute girl calling you cute.

Just "cute" doesn't have the younger-to-older psedo-familial connotations.

Just "cute" doesn't have the younger-to-older pseudo-familial connotations.

True, but I think "Mommy" goes overboard since it's not something you'd call a woman who's not your mother unless it was explicitly flirty or weird. Unnie, Oppa, and Senpai can be completely normal and ambiguous and are used much more frequently for everyday interactions.

Anyway this was cute.

just reading the first chapter and damn Solar seems to be inspired a lot by TWICE lol. Main vocalist who still diligently studied dancing/rapping and is considered an ace; always trying new things and legit can't stay still is just Jihyo in a different font. Unable to say tsu is literally a thing for Nayeon, but she can sing it just fine.

on chapter two now: being a fan of J-Pop, and fan of Two Off Rock, which is 100% a parody of One Ok Rock, is literally just Jihyo.

or maybe I'm being way too delusional lol

anw, the art is nice, wonder how this will go next?

Yeah there's not really an English equivalent (although funnily we do have a Bulgarian equivalent used in exactly the same way), but honestly "mommy" is a pretty good attempt. The issue is less any particular word than the lack of seniority involved in English, and a lack of a formal/informal speech divide. "Unnie" has a purely age connotation, and not a top/bottom connotation, whereas "mommy" has more to do with dom/sub vibes and while it can involve age it really isn't required.

This chapter just made me go back and watch a bunch of clips of my bias being cute/hot, so that was fun.

Yeah. We used to have something like formal and informal speech and seniority-based language habits, but not much anymore. Same thing with using people's last names more regularly, etc. Most of that got left in the past, but it's not much different from what we used to do in English.
