stop, come to a halt

멈추다 is coming to a halt or bringing something to one, and the -게 adverb here is nearly always 이렇게 "like this" or 어떻게 "how": 어떻게 멈춰 이거, 아예 이렇게 멈추는 스타일?. It also covers something staying stopped for a long stretch — 거의 20년 넘게 멈춰있다고 보시면 됩니다. One caption pairs it with the shorter 서다: [뒤늦게 멈춘 택시] 섰다, where 서다 is simply coming to a stand.
