i will tell u a grammar ^^
use 누가 when u want to ask about Subject
ex: 누가 와요? < who’s come?
use 누구 when u want to ask about Object
ex: 누구를 좋아해요? < who’s u love?
But there is Exception: use 누구 +세요 for polite way ..even if u ask about Subject ^^
ex : when someone Knock on the door u say " 누구 세요?"
Hope that was helped ^^
