Thats all I knwo fo sides. I don't knwo about the aunts and uncles since I don't have an aunt and uncle on my mom's side

grandfather:할아버지 ha ra bu ji
grandmother:할머니 hal mu ni
father: (formal) 아버지 a bu ji (informal) 아빠 appa

older brother:

as of little sister/brother, you usually call them by their first name.

aunt:
mom's side: 이모 imo (yes, pronounced like emo)
dad's side: 고모 gomo
uncle:
mom's side: 삼촌 samchon
dad's side: 숙부 sookboo (but more commonly called 큰아버지/큰아빠, which literally means "big father"/"big dad", respectively)

i hope this helps.
