Choi Min-sik and Han So-hee's Korean Remake Film 'Intern' Generates Buzz

The Korean film 'Intern,' starring actors Choi Min-sik and Han So-hee, has premiered, garnering significant attention. This remake of the 2015 Hollywood movie of the same name adapts the story to Korean sensibilities, depicting the relationship between young CEO Seon-woo (Han So-hee) and 37-year-experienced silver intern Gi-ho (Choi Min-sik). The unexpected casting of the two actors and various episodes from their promotional activities have captured public interest.

The movie 'Intern' was released on September 16, directed by Kim Do-young. Choi Min-sik plays Gi-ho, a veteran with 37 years of experience who joins a company as its youngest intern, adapting to digital tasks and a youthful corporate culture while influencing those around him with his wisdom.
