Long explanation:
'~하는데 [haneunde]' is commonly used in Korean to indicate contrast or to connect causes and results, behaving like 'but' or 'and so' in English. It may introduce a statement that contradicts a prior one or to imply a causal relationship. When used in the latter situation, the cause or background comes before 'haneunde', and the result or conclusion follows it.
