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
Fresh off headline-making personal drama and her appearance in Jungkook's Billboard-charting hit single Seven in 2023, Han So Hee is set to take on one of her most compelling roles yet - stepping into Anne Hathaway's iconic shoes in the Korean remake of The Intern. With filming scheduled to begin next month, all eyes are on how the rising star will bring a fresh edge to the ambitious CEO at the heart of this beloved story.
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.
