Long explanation:
'~하여/해서 [hayeo/haeseo]' is a connective verb ending used in Korean to link two clauses where the first clause is the cause or reason for the second clause. The second clause, the result or effect, presents a factual or logical outcome from the first clause. It correlates with 'So' or 'Therefore' in English. The shorter form '해서' is more colloquial and often used in daily conversation.
