A Remake With Its Own Identity
Based on the Hollywood film of the same name, “The Intern” follows Gi Ho, played by veteran actor Choi Min Sik, a senior intern who joins WOO22, a fashion brand led by Sun Woo — a workaholic CEO whose company has become a genuine dark horse just three years after launch. The story explores office life across generations, and the new stills suggest the Korean adaptation is building its own distinct chemistry rather than simply retracing the original.
Yoo Jin and Jun Hyung: The Bickering Backbone of the MD Team
Park Ye Ni’s Yoo Jin is the department’s most reliable presence — proactive, determined, and someone new employees can genuinely lean on. Opposite her, Im Sung Kyun’s Jun Hyung leads the MD team with a preference for shortcuts and quick fixes. Their constant bickering, paired with real senior-junior chemistry, promises to be one of the film’s more entertaining dynamics.
Joo Sung and Yoon Hee: The New Interns Bridging the Generation Gap
Kim Yo Han’s Joo Sung is the first to welcome Gi Ho, patiently helping him navigate a digital workplace culture that’s completely unfamiliar to him. Yoon Sang Jung’s Yoon Hee brings an outspoken, no-filter energy that keeps things light between Joo Sung and Gi Ho. Together, the trio rounds out a genuinely charming intern dynamic built on generational contrast rather than conflict.
