Long explanation:
The phrase '~을/를 빼다 [eul/reul ppaeda]' is a conjunction used in Korean to imply an exception to the general statement, or to indicate that something is 'not included' or 'excluded'. Therefore, it can be translated as 'except for', 'aside from', or 'discounting' in English. The noun, grouping, or person that we want to make an exception from a group or a set is attached to '~을/를' and '빼다' follows. The sentence '은/는' can be used to describe who or what is included in the group.
