What does 비밀이라고 해 놓고 mean here?

It means something like after saying it’s a secret or you say it’s a secret, and then...

The important part is -아/어 놓고, which often gives the feeling of:

• doing one action first,
• and then doing another action that may be unexpected, contradictory, or criticized.

So 비밀이라고 해 놓고 suggests:

• you said “It’s a secret,”
• but then you acted in a way that goes against that.

There is often a slightly blaming or critical tone in this pattern.

Why is it 이라고 after 비밀?

비밀 is a noun, so when you quote or report what someone says, you use:

• noun + 이라고 하다

So:

• 비밀이라고 하다 = to say that it’s a secret

Compare:

• 학생이라고 했어 = said that (someone) is a student
• 간다고 했어 = said that (someone) is going

For nouns, (이)라고 is the normal quoted form.

Why is it 해 놓고 instead of 하고?
