Cultural Context
In Korea, '부동산 중개인' (real estate broker) is a very common and essential profession. When renting or buying property, almost everyone goes through a '부동산' (real estate agency) which is run by a '중개인'. They handle all the paperwork and negotiations. The term '증권 중개인' (securities broker) is also used, but with the rise of direct online trading, many individuals now trade without a personal broker.
