① 어떤 음악 좋아해요?
어떤 is ‘what kind of’ and 음악 is ‘music’. So 어떤 음악 좋아해요? is ‘What kind of music do you like?’.
② 저도 모차르트 음악 좋아해요.
저 is ‘I’ and –도 is ‘also / too’. So 저도 모차르트 음악 좋아해요 means ‘I like Mozart’s music, too’.
③ 저도 콘서트에 가고 싶어요.
–고 싶어요 is ‘I want to ~’. So 저도 콘서트에 가고 싶어요 means ‘I want to go to a concert, too’.
④ 어느 가수 좋아해요?
어느 is ‘which’ and 가수 is ‘singer’. So 어느 가수 좋아해요? means ‘Which singer do you like?’.
⑤ 그렇군요![그러쿤뇨]
그렇군요 comes from 그렇(다) + 군요. Here 그렇다 is ‘to be like that’ and –군요 is an exclamation ending. So 그렇군요 is ‘That’s like that!’. It means ‘Now I see it’. We often use this when we want to respond positively to the speaker’s comment. This is a kind of verbal affirmation, so speakers will feel good when they hear 그렇군요 in response to what they have said.

피에르 우와, they really have a lot of fans. 한국 팬 seem to be very passionate.

And each fan club has its colors. 동방신기’s is pearl red, 슈퍼주니어’s is pearl sapphire blue, 신화’s is orange, and 소녀시대’s is pastel rose. So just by seeing the color of a balloon or glow stick that someone is holding, we can tell whose fan he / she is.

Grammar
● 못 + verb : can’t~
못 indicates inability or impossibility, and is similar to ‘can not’ in English. We use this before verbs. But for noun + 하다 combination verbs, we place it between the noun and 하다. There is a space between 못 and 하다. And to indicate simple inability, we use 못해요 without a space.
•김치 못 먹어요[몬머거요]. I can’t eat Kimchi.
•지금 데이트 못 해요[모태요]. I can’t go on a date now.
•한국말 못해요[모태요]. I can’t speak Korean.
● verb stem + 아 / 어 / 여야 돼요
verb stem + 아 / 어 / 여야 해요 : must / have to~
It indicates obligation or necessity, similar to ‘must / have to’ in English. There is no difference in meaning between 돼요 and 해요.
•지금 가야 돼요. I have to go now.
•약 먹어야 돼요. I have to take medicine.
•운동해야 돼요. I have to exercise.
● verb stem + (으)세요 : Please, ~
We use –(으)세요, when we make a request or give an order politely. When the final syllable of the stem ends in a consonant we use –으세요, and when it ends in a vowel we use –세요.
a consonant + 으세요 a vowel + 세요
•열심히 공부하세요. Please study hard.
•전화하세요. Please call.
•책을 읽으세요. Please read books.
•커피 드세요. Please drink coffee.
드세요
드세요 is ‘please eat or drink’. This is a polite form. We use 드세요 when we have prepared food and want to politely ask others to try it.
