Long explanation:
'~케 되다 [ke dweda]' is a Korean verb construction that's used to reflect the end result of a change or transformation, typically elicited by some factor or reason. The change could differ, from things about personal disposition, situations, or physical alteration. It’s quite comparative to saying 'to become', 'to get', 'to turn out to be' or 'end up' in English. The involved noun indicates the resultant state of change.
