I often hear Koreans use “면은” in their sentences.
Is this the same as 면 or does it have a contrastive function?

한국 사람들이 말할 때 “면은”을 많이 쓰는데 그게 “면”이랑 똑같아요?

Answer

Yes, but you don't write 면은.

Answer

When 면 means if, 면은 is the same with 면
은 is just a auxiliary word that highlight the front part of it
