And then

and, so
Used to narrate a sequence of events observed by the speaker. There is often a nuance that the first clause becomes the cause of the second clause. The subjects of both clauses must be different. Note that the speaker's past self and present self can be considered different subjects, and so first-person narration is possible.
Example
  • 어제 오랜만에 하체를 했더니 다리가 너무 아파.
    Yesterday I did leg day for the first time in a while, so now my legs really hurt.
  • 언니가 동생에게 괜찮냐고 물어봤더니 눈물이 펑펑 나왔어.
    My big sister asked my little sister if she was okay, and then my little sister burst into tears.
  • 부모님한테 다음에 차로 태워달라고 했어. 그랬더니 알겠다고 하셨어!
    I asked my parents if they could drive me next time. And they said they would!
