[theqoo] [EXCLUSIVE] HAN SOHEE, WILL SHE MEET WITH CHOI MINSIK?… IN TALKS FOR ANNE HATHAWAY’S ROLE IN REMAKE OF MOVIE ‘THE INTERN’

Actress Han So Hee is reportedly being considered for the lead role in the upcoming Korean remake of the 2015 Hollywood film ‘The Intern.’

According to an exclusive report by OSEN on May 9, Han So Hee is being eyed to portray the character originally played by Anne Hathaway in the American version of ‘The Intern.’ In the original film directed by Nancy Meyers, Hathaway played Jules, a 30-something CEO who built a thriving fashion startup with 220 employees in just 18 months.

Jules is known for her impeccable sense of style, relentless work ethic, and genuine care for her employees. She maintains her energy through fitness routines even while at the office, stays late to check in with her team, and even packages boxes herself to ensure customer satisfaction.

With her strong screen presence and acting range, Han So Hee is expected to bring new depth to the character, potentially surpassing the original portrayal with a richer and more nuanced performance. Her resemblance to Anne Hathaway has also sparked curiosity about how she will reinterpret the role for Korean audiences.

Meanwhile, veteran actor Choi Min Sik is reportedly being considered for the role of Ben, the senior intern originally played by Robert De Niro. The film follows the unexpected bond that forms between the driven young CEO and the wise, retired professional who joins her company as an intern.

Fans are already expressing high expectations for the remake, anticipating how the story will be adapted to fit Korean culture while maintaining the heartwarming dynamic of the original.

1. It doesn’t suit her. I can already picture her signature expression

2. Lee Chungah or Kim Jiwon would fit better

3. Wow this is honestly so-so.  Choi Minsik seems like he’d need to bring gangsters to a job interview, and Han Sohee gives off the vibe of someone who’s not passionate about work and would seem more annoyed than energetic… There are plenty of bright, sharp actresses out there so why not look for someone like that instead?..

4. ????? She doesn’t give off that ‘smart’ vibe at all though. She also doesn’t have that honest and warm aura… She gives off a kind of cold vibe, like a rich daughter or an artsy type who loves to party.

5. It suits her but I would’ve never imagined this duo. I think they’ll be fine

6. Ah butㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Choi Minsik fits The Intern so wellㅋㅋㅋ

7. Han Sohee as the CEO? Uhm….

8. They both don’t match…

9. Han Sohee and Choi Minsik look way too young compared to the original…

10. She freaking matches it. Please do it
