Korean has a pretty complicated system of formality and informality. Based on a person's age, social status, position, or the context of the situation, different greetings and sentence endings are required. It seems like the polite form requires you to end a sentence with the word "yo", but there are also deferential endings for very formal situations with different endings. For a conversation between friends, it is fine to drop some of the politeness words, but this would be considered very disrespectful when talking to a teacher or anyone older.
