The nuance
Attach '-은 다음에' after verb stems ending with a consonant, and '-ㄴ 다음에' after stems ending with a vowel. It indicates that the main clause action happens after the subordinate clause action is completed, often implying past or completed actions.

jeo-nyeok-eul meok-eun da-eum-e un-dong-hal geo-ye-yo., jeo nyeok eul meok eun da eum e un dong hal geo ye yo.
'먹다' ends with a vowel 'ㅓ', so '-ㄴ 다음에' is correctly attached as '먹은 다음에'.
