'Broken' is a work originally known as 'Night'(tentative). As for the reason for the title change, director Kim said, `I wanted a title that was a little more intuitive and could clearly express the emotions of the main character, Min-tae" he said.

Cranked up in 2021, 'Brocken' was released to the audience for the first time in about four years. Director Kim said, `The second half of the work period is longer than I thought"I didn't change the big framework for editing, but I tried to increase the density and completeness. There were several such processes, so I had no choice but to use a lot of energy for editing," he said.

The Jungwoo Ha will offer a rough appeal through 'Broken'. The Jungwoo Ha played Min-tae, an older brother who learns about his brother's death and digs into the case. As for how he joined the film, he said, "First of all, I was impressed with the director's 'shepherds' and also with Han Jae-deok, CEO of the production company Men Pictures, from the films 'Berlin' to 'Kundo', and we became acquainted with each other often. By the time I heard from the CEO about the scenario, I was also looking for a new, rough, and classic work."




In particular, 'broken' was described as 'a gasoline-smelling movie', adding to the curiosity. Looking at the atmosphere of the scene led by the director and the ensemble of cast actors, the Jungwoo Ha felt 'gasoline smelly movie'. There are thrillers, twists, and action elements, but I thought it was a movie with a strange dramatic attractionLooking at the concentration of the actors who make up the overall story, I felt as if I was returning to my mind when I first started the movie," he said.

As for the reason for casting Jungwoo Ha, director Kim said, `I personally wanted to work with Jungwoo Ha since I was a film student. In the meantime, I came to plan 'Broken'" and explained "When I was working on the scenario, I discussed with CEO Han Jae-deok in the process of making a character named Min-tae and then proceeded with casting sequentially"

Kim Nam-gil plays the role of Horyeong, a best-selling author who foresaw the death of his younger brother. As for why he chose the work, he said, `When I first received the scenario proposal, Jeong Man-sik was cast first. I wanted to act with Jung Man-sik, and it was a different genre from the movie 'Closet', which I worked with Jungwoo before, so I thought, 'How about trying it with my brother?' he said.




He also confessed his extraordinary relationship with Han Jae-deok, CEO of Man Pictures, the producer of Broken. CEO Han and Kim Nam-gil, who founded Gilstory ENT, said "I'm renting a house in the Men's Pictures building, and they made the monthly rent cheaper (laughs). If I appear in this work, I will extend my contract by one year, so I did it. You've been paying a cheap monthly rent for nearly five years and maintaining it for a long time, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you," he said in greeting.

When asked how he felt about working with the Jungwoo Ha for the second time, Kim Nam-gil said, `There may be disadvantages when acting with close actors, but the advantages are greater. He is a very humorous actor and an older brother who entertains the scene, but I felt a lot of rawness at this scene. I approached the character in the way I saw it for the first time."

Other supporting actors also heralded a masterpiece performance. Judas played the role of his younger brother's wife, Moon Young, and as the boss of the organization that Jeong Man-shikun once housed. Lim Sung-jae transformed into Byeong-gyu, a member of the organization accompanying Min-tae's pursuit.

Finally, director Kim did not forget his expectations and requests for the work. He says, `If you follow the trail of angry Mintae, you can feel compassion for humans"We worked hard with good actors, so please show us a lot of interest and love," he said.
