며

while, and — compact written style

Joins two things done at once by the same person, or simply links two facts: 대화하며 먹다 "eating while chatting", 긴장하며 지켜보는데 "watching tensely", 비틀비틀거리며 "wobbling along". It is the short, tighter cousin of 면서 and carries a written or narrating flavour, which is why it turns up constantly in on-screen captions and voiceover rather than in ordinary chat. After a consonant it appears as 으며.

Register: written or narrating; captions and voiceover
