잘 모르겠고 vs 모르겠네요 both the same??
if these sentences are said by the same person, what is the difference?

누군지는.. 잘 모르겠고..
누군지는.. 모르겠..네요.

Both seem to be saying [I don't know who it is]

I know that 네요 is used to express a declarative sentence or like a realization, so are both sentences the same but when the person says the second sentence, it's because they realize that they really don't know who the person is?

so then would this be:

I don't know.. who it is...
I don't know who it is!

Answer

잘 모르겠고: ~고 means "and", and it has the nuance "I don't care / It doesn't matter / It isn't important"

잘 모르겠네: ~네 is something rather careful, expecting reaction from the one listening, and thus it has the nuance "can you elaborate?"

Answer

You're pretty much spot on. The second one would be used in a situation where maybe the speaker thought they knew who it was, but then realised that they don't.

The 잘 in the first sentence emphasises the fact that the speaker doesn't know who they are. Something like 'I have no idea who they are'.
