From the text:

Suk meant someone about Father's age, or much younger. Suk was more informal than Sin-saang. Suk, I thought, and knew he was younger than Father even if he was very old on the outside.

This change of address took their relationship to a more personal level.

He was giving us his secret magic name as a blessing.
