What does 누가 mean?

누가 means "Who" in Korean.

How it works here

‘누가’ is the form of ‘누구’ (who) used in the subject position. In the sentence, it asks whether the person being asked about is someone.

Dictionary form

누구

Who

The standard form is ‘누구’ (who), but in the subject position it naturally appears as ‘누가’. It is used for people, not things. Forms such as ‘누구예요?’ and ‘누가 했어요?’ are very common in everyday conversation.

When it's used

Used to ask about a person’s identity, the person in charge, or the subject. It can ask directly for someone’s name or status, or confirm who performed an action.
