Ajussi - Older man typically aged between mid/late 30's ~ early 50's. Korean men, especially in their 30's, prefer to be called hyyg/oppa by those younger than them rather than ajusshi.
Sunbae - Is used to address senior colleagues or mentor figures, e.g. students referring to or addressing more senior students in school.

Naeuri - Was used by commoners in the Joseon Dynasty to refer to people of higher status but below "His Excellency".
Seonsaeng - Commonly translated "teacher", has much more formality, and is used to show respect to the addressee. It is related to the Japanese honorific, "sensei" and shares the same pair of Chinese characters, representing 'mister' or 'one born earlier' (literal).
