When you'd hear it

부로 is mainly used in formal notices, regulations, contracts, and workplace announcements to mark when a change or effect begins. It is uncommon in casual conversation, where speakers usually use 부터 instead.

What learners get wrong

Learners often confuse 부로 with 부터. 부로 commonly marks the effective date of a rule, agreement, or status, while 부터 is the broader everyday “from” used for times, places, and sequences.
