Long explanation:
'~게 하다' is a grammar form used in Korean to indicate that someone or something makes or causes someone else to do an action. It is equivalent to 'make/cause someone to do' in English. The subject of the sentence is the one who makes or causes the action, and the object of the sentence is the one who is made or caused to do the action.
