Long explanation:
'는/은 데 [neun/eun de]' is a conjunction used in Korean grammar, often in a situation where the speaker explains a condition or context, and then adds new, often unexpected or contrasted information related to that condition. It's often used as a transition between two clauses, connecting the prior situation with the additional information.
