What's the difference between 다가 & 후에?

The Korean phrases 다가 and 후에 are used to show temporal relationships, but they have a slight difference in their usage. 

다가 is used to indicate a sequence of events where one action occurs immediately after another, showing a causal or sequential relationship. This word is usually used in spoken language and has a more casual tone. 

For example, "I ate and then studied." 

후에 is used to express the time sequence of events, similar to "after" or "then" in English. This word is more formal and is often used in written or formal contexts. 후에 can also indicate events that happen in the future after a certain time. 

For example, "After dinner, I watched a movie."

In short, 다가 is used for more immediate or sequential events, often in casual conversation, while 후에 indicates a time sequence or events that happen after a certain time, similar to "after" in English.
