The actress Han So Hee is reportedly under consideration for the lead role in the upcoming Korean version of the 2015 Hollywood movie 'The Intern.' Based on an exclusive report by OSEN on May 9, Han So Hee is being looked at to play the same character that Anne Hathaway portrayed in the American film. In 'The Intern,' Anne Hathaway played Jules, a determined CEO in her 30s who successfully establishes a fashion startup with 220 employees within 18 months.

Known for her exceptional fashion sense, strong work ethic, and genuine concern for her staff, Jules is portrayed as someone who engages in fitness activities in the workplace, extends her hours to connect with her team, and personally handles customer service tasks.

Han So Hee, with her commanding presence on screen and versatile acting abilities, is anticipated to bring a fresh perspective to the character, potentially offering a more intricate and nuanced portrayal than the original. Her physical resemblance to Anne Hathaway has generated curiosity about how she will reimagine the role for Korean viewers.

On another note, it has been mentioned that veteran actor Choi Min Sik is also being considered for the character of Ben, the senior intern originally played by Robert De Niro. The storyline details the unexpected relationship that evolves between the ambitious young CEO and the seasoned retiree who becomes an intern at her company.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the remake, wondering how the narrative will be tailored to Korean customs while preserving the heartwarming essence of the original film.
