If you have a problem, ask a senior.

“Senior” in Korean is 선배 (seonbae).

A person who joined the same group earlier or has more experience, such as an older student or a more experienced coworker.

선배의 조언이 큰 도움이 됐어요.seon bae ui cho eo ni keun to u mi twae sseo yo

My senior's advice was a great help.

Unlike English senior, this word often depends on joining order or experience rather than age, so people of the same age can have this relationship.
