I want to know when use it. I read it 는/은 is to subject and 가/이? I would be really thankful if you teach me, please

It is difficult for even native Koreans to accurately answer the problem. Look for professional books.

I'm not sure, but I think a word followed by 는/으 has more attention than if it was followed by 가/이

는/은 are topic marking particles. you use 는 if the word ends with a vowel. you use 은 if it ends with a consonant. to keep the consonant vowel constant pattern.
same goes with 가/ 이 which are subject marking particles. 가 goes after a vowel, 이 goes after a consonant

This website has a pretty comprehensive explanation. 은/는 and 이/가 are just one of those things that you must "feel" to know what to use.
I don't think it's a good idea to relate them as topic vs subject particles because that is quite confusing to say the least..
