Long explanation:
'~고서 [goseo]' is a grammar point in Korean, generally used to indicate that another action or event occurred after the first action was conducted. It basically means 'after doing something'. This construct is formed by attaching '고서' to the stem of a verb. Note that this form usually indicates a sequence of two actions performed by the same subject and usually contains an implication that the second action is carried out somewhat immediately or shortly after the first.
