Long explanation:
'~하면 ~하다 [hamyeon hada]' is a grammar structure used in Korean to describe conditional statements or sequential actions. It's akin to 'if ~ then' in English. This structure indicates that when the action or condition in the first clause (before 하면) occurs, there follows a response, outcome, or another action indicated by the second clause (after 하면). It's often used to express hypothetical scenarios, outcomes of certain conditions, or a course of events.
