Signification
A request for someone to repeat what they said.
Contexte culturel
In Korea, it is common to use '네?' (Yes?) with a rising intonation as a shorthand for 'Could you repeat that?'. It is not considered rude if said with a soft tone. In meetings, instead of just saying 'I didn't hear you,' Koreans often apologize first with '죄송하지만' (I'm sorry but) to maintain social harmony. Students are encouraged to ask for repetition. Teachers see it as a sign of a diligent student who wants to learn correctly. In texting (KakaoTalk), people often use '뭐라고?' or '머라고?' (slangy spelling) or even just '?' to ask for clarification, but '다시 말해줘' is the standard for friends.
Add '죄송하지만'
Starting with '죄송하지만' (I'm sorry but...) makes you sound incredibly polite and fluent.
Watch your intonation
A falling intonation can sound like a command. Keep your tone light and slightly rising at the end.

The Power of '네?'
If you are in a rush, a simple '네?' is enough, but '다시 한 번 말해 주세요' is always safer for learners.
