Also spelled gonasoda

step up and take action

나서다 is stepping forward to take something on in public, and with -고 it follows the action being taken: 아주아주아주 강하게 반발하고 나섰습니다, 투자금 회수하고 나섰습니다, 미국은 IS와 비슷한 극단주의 정부를 경고하고 나섰다 — all news reporting. Used of a person's character it turns critical, meaning pushing yourself forward: '주의가 산만하고 나서기를 좋아함', 당당함은 없었고 나서지도 않고?. Two lines point at the idiom 발 벗고 나서다, throwing yourself into helping someone.
