It has been almost 11 years since the heartwarming tale of intergenerational friendship in the movie The Intern charmed audiences, and now the much-loved Hollywood flick is being remade as a Korean version. With an all-star cast comprising veteran legend Choi Min Sik and Han So Hee, among others, the Korean remake is going to take viewers on a journey through intergenerational values in the contemporary age of Korean corporate culture. The trailer and poster revealed on August 4 gave a peek into a funny and touching office drama full of awkward situations and meaningful relationships.

This trailer features Kim Gi Ho (played by Choi Min Sik), a 37-year industry veteran who chooses to start a new chapter in his life as a senior intern. Even though he is quite senior in the industry, his first day at a fashion start-up is filled with both nervousness and excitement.

Choi Min Sik, best known internationally for Oldboy, plays Kim Gi Ho, the role which was originally played by Robert De Niro in the 2015 film. Han So Hee takes on the role of Sun Woo, the ambitious CEO of fashion company Wootutu. Originally played by Anne Hathaway, she is introduced as a rising force in the fashion industry who has built her company from scratch in just three years.

The Korean remake is adapted from the 2015 American comedy-drama film called The Intern by Nancy Meyers. The film features Robert De Niro as Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old widower and ex-executive who joins an online fashion startup through a senior internship program after finding his retirement meaningless.

The Intern is also getting an Indian version. The film was initially planned to feature the late Rishi Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles. The film was announced in 2020. Following Rishi Kapoor's passing, Amitabh Bachchan was roped in to join the film in 2021. After much delay, it was reported that the Pathaan actor had decided to step back from playing the lead role and would only produce under her banner, KA Productions. However, it's been five years since the announcement, and there has been no further development.
