Long explanation:
'~이므로 [imuro]' is a conjunction used in Korean to indicate a reason or cause, which corresponds to 'because' or 'since' in English. It typically precedes the conclusion or result caused by the preceding clause. ~이므로 [imuro] is more formal and is typically used in written Korean such as in official documents, academic writing, or news reports.
