* 은./는 in these sentences highlights the noun by setting it apart from the others.
- 저는 축구를 좋아해요. = I like soccer - simple statement with no nuance.
- 서울에 눈이 왔어 = It snowed in Seoul - no special nuance.
- 서울에는 눈이 왔어요 = It snowed in Seoul (although I don't know if it did [although it did not] in other places).
In both examples, 은/는 highlights what's said about the noun as something unique or unusual, separating it from the others.
As another example, 영식이는 운동을 잘해 simply states that he's good at sports. 영식이는 운동은 잘해 however adds the implication that he is only good at sports and not at other things.
