Long explanation:
`~게다가 [gedaga]` is a conjunction in Korean language. It is used to provide further information or details on top of a previously mentioned point. The word is similar to 'moreover' or 'besides' in English. It is typically used for adding extra reasons or justifications about why a certain action or situation occurred or a certain decision was made. Unlike 'and', '~게다가 [gedaga]' hints that the following information is an additional or further detail rather than a separate point.
