wander around searching for

헤매다 is wandering without finding — lost, or going round in circles. Every line here is 찾아 헤매다, searching high and low: a hyena hunting for food, a cast hunting a hidden prop, eyes desperately looking for iced tea, people chasing after love and fame. The image is the searching rather than the finding, so it carries a note of futility.

Register: vivid, slightly dramatic
