Han So Hee steps into Anne Hathaway's shoes in Korean remake of The Intern — but who is her Robert De Niro? All you need to know
She is joined by seasoned actor Choi Min Sik, who plays the part first performed by Robert De Niro, a 70-year-old senior intern whose quiet sagacity and surprising charm upend the fast-paced startup world. According to the Korean Film Council, the movie is presently in the pre-shoot stage and will be directed by Kim Do Young.
Staying true to the heart of the original
Han So Hee will play Jules Ostin, the driven leader of a rapidly growing fashion startup - a character who must learn how to lead, trust, and grow alongside the least likely of mentors. The original 2015 Hollywood film, directed by Nancy Meyers, was a box office success and drew over 3.6 million viewers during its run in South Korea.
What's next for the stars
Choi Min Sik shows no signs of slowing down with a full lineup that includes Heaven: To the Land of Happiness, No Other Choice, and the drama Notes from the Last Row. His hit series Big Bet, which originally premiered on Disney+, recently returned to the spotlight with a re-release on MBC's Friday–Saturday slot, drawing renewed interest and peaking at 5.8% viewership, according to Nielsen Korea. The highly anticipated new season premiered on July 27, 2025, and now airs every Sunday at 10 PM KST on MBC.

Is Cha In-Pyo kissing his screen career goodbye? Star wins new writer award for 'Mermaid Hunting'
Top Korean actors Cha In-pyo and Shin Ae-ra Cha In-Pyo is trading in drama scripts for crafting novels! This veteran star, lighting up TVs since the '90s, has just clinched the New Writer Award at the 2025 Hwang Soon-Won Literary Prize for his captivating novel ' Mermaid Hunting '. Now at 58, Cha is living proof that creativity knows no expiration date. He made his twriting debut book at 42, and scored a major literary honour. His award-winning work dives into profound themes that resonate deeply, leaving readers pondering long after the last page. A Family Affair Full of Feels and Funny Moments Cha's biggest cheerleader - his wife, actress Shin Ae-Ra - was bursting with pride. She took to social media with a post that's equal parts funny and touching. She said, "He'd grab his bag and vanish every day to write, only to return at 5 PM grumbling about being starving, and now he's scooped up this incredible award!". She playfully noted how he snagged a rookie acting award right before turning 30, and now a rookie writer one before 60. "Dreams aren't meant to be abandoned; you never know when they'll flourish." Her post didn't go unnoticed - it sparked a wave of congratulations from fellow celebs like Hong Hyun-Hee and Jang Young-Ran, turning a personal milestone into a shared celebration. Moments like these highlight how a strong support system can turn everyday struggles into triumphant tales, adding that extra layer of warmth and motivation to keep pushing forward. It's the kind of relatable family dynamic that makes you appreciate the unsung heroes behind every success story. Cha's Epic Journey Cha In-Pyo's career is a rollercoaster of highlights that could fill a bestseller itself. Kicking off in 1993 with the family sitcom One Roof, Three Families, he skyrocketed to fame in 1997's romantic hit Star in My Heart, which played a key role in sparking worldwide interest in Korean dramas. His trophy shelf boasts gems like the Best Actor nod at the 2000 Baeksang Arts Awards for The Boss, followed by the Grand Prize in 2001 for Her House. He's also shone in movies such as Crossing, South Korea's official Oscar submission back in 2008, and even stepped behind the camera as a director. But his pivot to writing? That's the fresh, exciting sequel everyone's talking about. With titles like Goodbye Hill (revised into Once We Look at the Same Star , tackling poignant historical issues), Today's Forecast, the award-winner Mermaid Hunting, and Their Day, Cha has firmly established himself as a novelist with substance. His writing prowess even landed him a guest lecture gig at Oxford University , proving his words carry weight beyond borders. Reflecting on the win, Cha humbly described it as "a quiet permission to continue writing, pushing me to create more humble and profound stories".

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal is a copy of Akshay Kumar's Jaanwar? Suneel Darshan reveals
Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, released in 2023 and witnessed a superlative box office run in India. The movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol, met with extreme reactions - with some appreciating it for fearless and raw writing, while others tagged it as toxic. It also faced backlash for its Interval block being similar to the Korean movie, Oldboy. And now, veteran Hindi film director Suneel Darshan has accused Vanga of copying his story of Jaanwar (1991). In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Suneel Darshan highlighted that the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal has a similar plot to his film Jaanwar, still he hasn't made any claims. When asked if he wants to remake his own film for today's audience, Suneel said, 'Main kaise banaun? Meri filmon ki nakal itne log kar chuke hain. Ek film hai Jaanwar. Jaanwar ka English kya hota hai? Uski kahaani kaunsi hai? Aapne Animal dekhi hai na? Aapko pata hai na kaunsi kahaani hai? Lekin main claim nahi karta, kyunki us director ki treatment bahut anokhi thi, aur bahut achhe tareeke se usne us film ko treat kiya. But if the producer had acknowledged the truth, it would have been much better.' Why Suneel Darshan chooses to stay silent Gearing for the release of Andaaz 2 on August 8, Suneel Darshan further added that he is happy that his cinema is inspiring other people even today. He said, 'I thought it was better to stay silent, because somehow, there have been other films like this too, and they've been massive hits. I feel like I'm inspiring people. My cinema is continuing to inspire them, and those films are becoming huge blockbusters.' 'There's one hero, a very big star, who also did a film that's very, very similar to mine. And the writer from whom they bought the story is also a very big name. That film too was a massive hit. So if you see the film, it's strangely very similar to my film,' Suneel Darshan concluded. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
