Actress Han So Hee is reportedly being considered for the lead role in the upcoming Korean remake of the 2015 Hollywood film 'The Intern.'

According to an exclusive report by OSEN on May 9, Han So Hee is being eyed to portray the character originally played by Anne Hathaway in the American version of 'The Intern.' In the original film directed by Nancy Meyers, Hathaway played Jules, a 30-something CEO who built a thriving fashion startup with 220 employees in just 18 months.

Jules is known for her impeccable sense of style, relentless work ethic, and genuine care for her employees. She maintains her energy through fitness routines even while at the office, stays late to check in with her team, and even packages boxes herself to ensure customer satisfaction.

With her strong screen presence and acting range, Han So Hee is expected to bring new depth to the character, potentially surpassing the original portrayal with a richer and more nuanced performance. Her resemblance to Anne Hathaway has also sparked curiosity about how she will reinterpret the role for Korean audiences.

Meanwhile, veteran actor Choi Min Sik is reportedly being considered for the role of Ben, the senior intern originally played by Robert De Niro. The film follows the unexpected bond that forms between the driven young CEO and the wise, retired professional who joins her company as an intern.

Fans are already expressing high expectations for the remake, anticipating how the story will be adapted to fit Korean culture while maintaining the heartwarming dynamic of the original.
