What is 되게? I know how it is formed but I have seen this used on its own as a separate phrase when talking about something that has 'become something'. I can imagine situations like, Now in Korea there are so many more foreigners here 이제는 한국에 온 위국인 되게 많아서~ or Now there are so many more people that like this style of fashion 이제는 이런 페션 스타일을 좋아하는 사람들이 되게 많아요. Now there are so many more foreigners who are interested in Korean culture 이제는 한국 문화를 관심이 있는 위국인들이 되게 많아요. Is my assumption right? or are there any more ways that 되게, as a separate word as I see it, is used?

As mentioned, 되게 means "very" and comes from 되다. But this 되다 is not the same one meaning "become", "make", or "turn into". There are homonyms 되다 and 되게 with an entirely different meaning. 되다다 means "thick" used for a battered mixture, paste, or dough used in cooking. If you don't mix or batter it right it become to "thick", with too little water in it. You say then "반죽(mixture) is 되다". You can easily see then why 되게 means "very". The adjective itself is sometimes used to describe a person too, like "tenacious" or "tough" in character. Also, this 되다 and 되게 are usually pronounced with lengthened vowel for emphasis while 되다 for "become" is short and light. Its antonym is 묽다 - "thin", "too watery".

Yes 되게 comes from 되다 which means to become, to be done or to make it. However, 되게 itself is just used to mean "very".
