“The Intern” Korean Remake: Choi Min Sik and Han So Hee’s Odd-Couple Chemistry Takes Center Stage in New Posters

A 37-year work veteran and a fashion industry wunderkind walk into an office — and it’s not a joke, it’s the premise of Korea’s remake of “The Intern.” New posters just dropped, and the generational contrast is already stealing the spotlight.

As a remake of the Hollywood film of the same name, “The Intern” tells a story of office life that transcends generations and job titles, beginning when Gi Ho (Choi Min Sik), a senior intern with 37 years of work experience, joins the company of Sun Woo (Han So Hee), who has rapidly emerged as a dark horse in the fashion industry just three years after launching it.

Two Very Different Energies, One Office

The new posters do a lot of storytelling without a single line of dialogue. The images capture Gi Ho and Sun Woo on their way to work, highlighting how different they are in everything from their overall vibe to their fashion — an excited Gi Ho adjusts his tie with a sparkle in his eyes, while Sun Woo catches the eye with a confident smile, phone in hand, staying focused on work even during her commute.

The tagline ties it all together. The phrase “I’m going back to work this fall” raises anticipation for the dynamic chemistry between these two characters, who differ sharply in both age and rank. soompi

It’s a setup built for contrast — old-school diligence meets modern hustle — and if the original Hollywood version is anything to go by, that clash is exactly where the heart of the story lives.

Choi Min Sik brings serious dramatic weight to the role, known for his commanding performances across Korean cinema, a film industry that has increasingly found global acclaim for blending sharp social commentary with mainstream appeal — something this workplace dramedy looks poised to continue.
