   • 그래도 is a conjunction meaning ‘nevertheless’, ‘even so’, or ‘still’. It’s used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or makes a concession despite what was previously said. It’s derived from 그렇다 (to be so) and the conjunctive ending -어도, which expresses concession or contrast, implying ‘even if’ or ‘although’.
