Will 'The Intern' Star Han So-hee Outshine Anne Hathaway?… "A Grounded Role"

Actor Han So-hee transforms into the CEO of a fashion startup in the film 'The Intern'.

'The Intern' depicts an office life that transcends generations and job ranks, beginning when 'Sunoo' (Han So-hee), whose company rapidly emerged as a dark horse in the fashion world just three years after launch, gets a 37-year veteran silver intern named 'Keeho' (Choi Minsik). It is a remake of the Hollywood film of the same name.

In this project, Han So-hee plays 'Sunoo', a young CEO who grew the fashion startup Ututu into a dark horse in the fashion world within three years of its establishment. It is the character played by Anne Hathaway in the original film. She is a top-tier talent equipped with exceptional sense and bold drive, but she is also a character whose work and life are overloaded due to running relentlessly toward success.

In front of such 'Sunoo', the 37-year veteran silver intern 'Keeho' appears, and 'Sunoo' builds a friendship that transcends generations and job ranks with 'Keeho', who is the exact opposite of her in every way, gaining a new perspective on work and life.

Han So-hee shared, "After consecutively appearing in genre projects, I am excited to take on a grounded role for the first time that can offer realistic empathy," raising curiosity about her new acting through a character harboring hidden worries behind glamorous success.

Choi Minsik, who worked alongside her, remarked, "She was clear, cheerful, and cool," hinting at Han So-hee's extraordinary passion. Furthermore, Director Kim Doyoung also praised her, saying, "With actor Han So-hee's unique energy added, 'Sunoo' was able to be born as an even more charming character."

Han So-hee's acting transformation as a workaholic CEO can be seen in the film 'The Intern', opening on Wednesday, September 16.
