Long explanation:
'~하면서 [hamyeonseo]' is a Korean conjunction used to describe two simultaneous actions or to indicate that one action is happening while another action is in progress. It can be directly translated to 'while' or 'as' in English. In the case of two verbs, the verb before '하면서' is the one that is in progress while the action after is happening.
