'~하면 할수록 [hamyeon halsurok]' is a commonly used Korean grammar pattern that is similar to saying 'the more ~, the more ~' in English. It allows us to indicate simultaneous increase or decrease of two situations or it can also express that the situation is becoming extreme. It means that the more of the first action/thing you do or have, the more of the second action/thing occurs.
