"Broker" isn't getting a lot of attention from the public in Korea.

In 2022, "Broker" was nominated for a Cannes Film Festival Award. A 12-minute standing ovation was given to the piece at its premiere.

Critics overwhelmingly gave the picture a favorable assessment. Song Kang Ho, a South Korean actor, won the Cannes Best Actor prize at the same time.

However, the general public did not appreciate the effort. The majority of viewers were let down by "Broker." They said Hirokazu Koreeda's objectives were ambiguous and the film's content was confused.

The movie's script was deemed unrealistic by the audience. The work's uplifted message, on the other hand, continues to be appreciated by many people.

Audiences continue to give the film mixed reviews. In spite of this, the vast majority of viewers remain unimpressed:

• At Cannes, the 12 minutes of acclaim for "Broker" made me eager to see it. However, after seeing the film, I was a little let down. The performances by the performers are generally excellent, although I occasionally have difficulty understanding what they are saying. There was only one scenario that had the power to elicit an emotional response from me.
• Honestly, I’m a bit dissatisfied, I think the storyline is not enough for the cast to display their full talent.
• This movie is making me feel drowsy. It's a let-down, really.

Despite talking to a representative for over an hour, the issue wasn’t resolved. Kim Jaejoong pointed out a flaw in the system: “The hacker changed the password, so why do I, the victim, have to prove everything?”

Things only got worse when he was told he would be connected to another representative, only for it to be the same department. He admitted, “I was mentally crushed” after realizing the lack of progress. While he acknowledged that the customer service staff was working hard, he couldn’t help but feel that the system was too weak to handle such incidents.

Fortunately, after two days of struggle, the situation was finally resolved. Kim Jae Joong confirmed that his account was closed and deleted, and luckily, no financial loss occurred. “It was truly a terrifying day,” he shared, relieved that the problem was fixed.

Despite the scary experience, Kim Jaejoong continues to thrive in other areas of his career.
