Han So-hee is in the spotlight as a female CEO candidate for the remake of 'The Intern'… expectations rise for her chemistry with Choi Min-sik across generations.
Will actress Han So-hee transform into a 30-something female CEO? She is being strongly considered for the lead role in the Korean remake of the film 'The Intern,' raising expectations.
According to OSEN on the 9th, Han So-hee is reported to be reviewing an offer for the role of 'Jules' in the Korean version of the Hollywood film 'The Intern,' which was played by Anne Hathaway. Jules is the CEO of a company that grew to 220 employees within a year and a half of its founding, characterized as a perfectionist leader with both charisma and humanity.
With a sophisticated style, meticulous self-management, and passion for work, Jules is an enthusiastic CEO who takes care of employees working late and personally handles customer packaging. There is already great interest in how Han So-hee will reinterpret such a character.
Han So-hee has proven her strong image and solid acting skills through a variety of works, including the drama '100 Days My Prince,' 'The World of the Married,' 'Nevertheless,' 'My Name,' and the series 'Gyeongseong Creature,' as well as the film 'Heavy Snow.' This work is expected to mark another acting transformation as a mature career woman.
Actor Choi Min-sik is being considered for the role of 'Ben,' Jules' intern. Previously, production company Anthology Studios announced, 'We are developing the script with Warner Brothers, and casting for the actors and director has not yet been confirmed.' However, if the meeting between Han So-hee and Choi Min-sik across generations is realized, expectations are high for a warm synergy comparable to the original.
The original 'The Intern,' released in 2015, was directed by Nancy Meyers and starred Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro, capturing the hearts of audiences worldwide with its story of friendship and growth across generations. It draws attention how the Korean version of 'The Intern' will recreate that emotional impact, and what empathy and box office success it will lead to.
