Long explanation:
'~서야 [seoya]' is a conjunction used in Korean to express that only after fulfilling the first action, the second action can be accomplished or certain conditions can be met. It depicts the chronological order of events where the second part of the sentence can only happen once the first part has been completed. It's similar to 'only after' or 'then' in English in conditions.
