@lmouto You both say them to a senior. For example if you are in first grade you say sunbae/sunbaenim to second grade to call them like "hello sunbaenim" or if you're talking with friends about senior(if his name is Mark) you say "Mark sunbae is handsome" (sorry I'm not that good at explaining things in English😓) hope this is helpful😊

sunbae and sunbaenim are same meaning. Suppose that you are in school. Then there is a student who is older than you. You can tell him or her sunbae or sunbaenim!
