KONGLE
Comeback Day
Understand 컴백, 신곡, 무대, 콘서트 and 응원봉, and ask when the comeback is and what time the concert starts.
From English 'comeback', with a narrower meaning. You'll see it in every announcement.
신 means 'new' and 곡 means 'a piece of music'. A 컴백 brings a 신곡.
The physical stage, and also one performance on it — 'today's 무대' means today's performance.
Three English syllables become four Korean blocks, because Korean needs a vowel after s and t.
응원 is the 'cheering' you met in 응원해요; 봉 is a stick. A cheering stick.
언제 means 'when'. Same pattern again as 뭐예요? and 누구예요? — only the question word changes.
있어요? ('do you have…?') is the pattern you used in the shop: 파란색 있어요?

Say it out loud
Listen, then repeat aloud. Matching the rhythm matters more than perfection.
Why? 컴백 doesn't mean what you think
In English a 'comeback' is a return after a long absence. In Korean, 컴백 is simply a new release — a group can have a 컴백 three months after the last one. If a notice says 컴백, it means new music is coming, not that anyone went away. The words here are mostly loanwords, which makes them a good reading test: sound them out block by block and you'll hear the English underneath — 콘서트, 컴백.
