daeum · TOPIK 1

next, following

sounds like da-um: da (all) done, um... what comes next?

다음 is a native Korean word for whatever follows the current one. Break it as da + eum: 다 means all, so once all of this is finished, 다음 is the one after. You hear it in 다음 역 (next station) and 다음 주 (next week).
