Hollywood Remake 'The Intern' to Be Released Next Month

The Hollywood film "The Intern," starring Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro, has been reimagined with a distinctly Korean sentiment.

Actor Choi Minsik, who plays the senior intern Keeho, shared that he strived to create a story that everyone can relate to.

["I don't get along with any adults in this world. You know that."]

Set to be released on September 16, "The Intern" follows the story of Keeho, a 37-year veteran, as he joins a fashion company led by a passionate CEO, Sunoo.

The film is a remake of the 2015 Hollywood movie of the same name.

The director noted that because the original film received so much love, taking on the remake was no easy task, but efforts were made to highlight the actors' charms and infuse it with Korean sensibilities.

Choi Minsik, who played Keeho, also admitted to feeling a heavy burden.

He decided to join the project thinking that expressing the sorrows, harmony, and generational conflicts of Koreans through our own cultural lens would offer a unique flavor.

The role of CEO Sunoo was played by Han So-hee.

She expressed confidence, saying she worked passionately with the mindset of diving in headfirst without hesitation, and believes her sincerity will thoroughly shine through.
