Actors Choi Minsik and Han Sohee are starring in the film "The Intern," which has set its sights on this year's Chuseok holiday box office.
"The Intern" has confirmed its release date for September 16 and released its first poster and teaser trailer.
"The Intern" depicts an office life that transcends generations and job ranks, beginning when Ki-ho (Choi Minsik), a 37-year veteran silver intern, joins the company of Seon-woo (Han Sohee), who rapidly emerged as a dark horse in the fashion industry just three years after launch.
This film is a remake of the Hollywood movie of the same title, which was loved by global audiences in 2015 by grossing more than five times its production budget. Choi Minsik plays the role of the 37-year veteran intern originally played by Robert De Niro, while Han Sohee takes on the role of the rookie CEO originally played by Anne Hathaway.
The film is directed by Kim Do-young, who achieved a 3 million box office hit with "Once We Were Us." Following her previous work, director Kim Do-young has once again taken the helm of a remake, infusing a major original film with Korean sensibilities.
The first poster, released on the morning of the 4th, catches the eye with the confident strides of silver intern Ki-ho (Choi Minsik) and passionate CEO Seon-woo (Han Sohee) as they head to work side by side.
The accompanying teaser trailer begins with Ki-ho experiencing a mix of tension and excitement as he heads to work after a long time. During his interview with Vice CEO Younghwan (Kim Jun-han), when asked about his strengths and weaknesses, Ki-ho wittily replies, "My strength is that I have a lot of experience, and my weakness is that I am old," eventually getting his hands on an intern employee ID card for the fashion startup Woo To Too. Arriving at the company in a neat suit with a briefcase, Ki-ho neatly lays out cream bread, oanda, a thermos, a desk clock, a pencil case, and ink on his desk, showing off the unique vibe of a silver intern right from the start.
Meanwhile, Ki-ho's earnest expression as he searches for "how to work with young generations" and the meaning of the slang term "gam-da-dwii" stimulates viewers' curiosity about his bitter-sweet youngest-member life as a veteran of society starting over as a silver intern at a new company.
On the other hand, a humorous moment arises when CEO Seon-woo looks at Ki-ho's resume photo on a tablet handed to her by secretary Mina (Ryu Hye-young) and flusters, saying, "Who is this scary person?" The contrast between CEO Seon-woo, who feels uncomfortable with the silver intern assigned directly under her, saying, "I don't get along with all adults in this world, you know," and Ki-ho, who politely introduces himself by saying, "My name is Kim Ki-ho, a new intern employee," previews the unpredictable chemistry between the two.
"The Intern" has confirmed its release for the Chuseok season, setting up competition with films such as "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" and "REAWAKEN MAN: THE RED."
