How to say DEAR and your thoughts on ROSETTA

[goliso]

I want to write a fan letter to my Korean idol. I was wondering how to say dear as in "Dear Son Dongwoon (손 동운)," (yes, that is the idol's name).
I am still not sure if I will write the letter in Korean or English (it's been reported that he knows English), but I would like to start the letter that way.

I think it's 에게 so it would be 손 동운에게.

I'm not 100% positive that's it though.

You're exactly right!!

goliso님
when you write a letter, you can use " 동운에게" as fjma123 said.
Young people use English as well like" To 동운/Dear 동운".

BONUS
Here are some examples.(looks more intimate as a fan I think^^)
나의 왕자님께(To my prince)/ 나의 동운님께(To my 동운)/사랑스런 동운님께(To lovely 동운)
I think a letter is just like English style so don't worry.

And I bet if you try to write a letter in Korean, he will get more interest in your letter.
A fan letter should have something different and special to make him get into it.*^^*

Good luck for you!

Goliso!

If you want to know more about Rosetta Stone I made a topic long time ago about it here:

http://www.koreanclass101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1741

I brought Rosetta Stone and I really recommend it! this new version is better than the last one and it really helps you with your Korean. Anyone else who purchase disagrees with me? if so tell us why? and more about it! Well thank you for your time everyone.

@Ulver_684
Thanks for that link! I wasn't able to find that through the search.
I actually didn't mean to keep the Rosetta part in the question because I was going to move it to Resources, but I'm glad I did~

@fjma123&julialim
Thank you both so much!
You're right about it being unique, but he is an artist in Korea so maybe the English would... "lure" him in? haha. Though, I think I will try a bit of both.
Thanks for the examples!
I think I will write "오빠 동운에게"
It seems like fans call their idols 오빠 a lot, and I've picked it up. haha.

I don't have much (or any, haha) experience in writing letters to Korean celebrities, but you should say 동운 오빠, not 오빠 동운.

I have to give my thoughts on Rosetta Stone. I don't like it at all. I had Rosetta Stone when I was learning Spanish.

Actually, it could be a good program if it was geared towards beginners and (*possibly*) lower intermediates. But the company wants to promote "fluency", and that will not happen by only using Rosetta Stone. And with so many alternatives out there that are much cheaper and free, it's useless to spend such an amount of money, in my opinion of course.

Not just my opinion, but someone else that feels the same way:

Sorry for the shameless plug, but you'll get so much more from your money (might i add a cheaper price) here at KC101.com. (**ok KC101 staff....i did what you asked...where's my check? ~~ haha just kidding guys) ^^

All jokes aside, continue shopping and searching around before committing $300 - $1000 to one program.

Oh btw, I didn't buy the "Spanish" version of Rosetta Stone and I will not say how I got it. (**echoing evil laughter**)
