Some expressions in Korean are tricky. For example, 여기 어떻게 왔어? normally means "How did you get here?" But it also occasionally mean "What brought you here? /Why are you here?" This expression comes when a person is surprised at someone else's visiting. It's the same expression as "여기 웬일이야?" or "여기 왜 왔어?"
