More About This Film

The Intern is a Korean-language remake of the 2015 workplace comedy. It follows Ki-ho, a retired man with 37 years of professional experience, who joins fashion-company WOO22 as a senior intern and finds himself working under Sun-woo, a driven young CEO.

Kim Do-young directs Choi Min-sik and Han So-hee in the central roles. The adaptation relocates the workplace story into South Korea and emphasizes the contrast between generations, work styles, corporate culture, and the different perspectives the two leads bring to the same company.
