Recently, Girls’ Generation Yoona became the host of the 2023 MBC Gayo Daejejeon, where SHINee also appeared as a featured artist. As a result, SHINee’s Taemin and Yoona had the chance to appear on stage together.
As Taemin was coming back from the bathroom, he appeared on stage late, and despite Key trying to stop him, the male idol tried to greet Yoona.
It is notable that as SHINee’s youngest member, Taemin has always considered Yoona, his senior, as an older sister, and continued to try and catch her attention by calling out “Noona!” (older sister).
Eventually, Yoona heard Taemin and returned his greeting, all while smiling happily.
The moment of Taemin happily calling Yoona his “Noona!” has been captured by a fansite, and so this cute image has gone viral across the SNS platform X (formerly Twitter).
Baby Taemin 😭 He came late and asked Minho hyung to guide him where to stand. Then when Yoona didn’t hear him saying hello to her, he still called her again “Noona!” 🥹 cutie 🩵🩷 pic.twitter.com/b4V200jcgK

In fact, it has even become a meme, with people editing words of their goals onto Yoona and cute “distractions” on Taemin.
It seems that despite his immense experience in the K-pop industry, Taemin will forever be Yoona’s cute littler brother.
