Actor Choi Min-sik expressed his affection for junior actor Han So-hee.

On the afternoon of the 4th, a press screening for the film 'Intern (Director Kim Do-young)' was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. The subsequent press conference featured actors Choi Min-sik, Han So-hee, Kim Jun-han, Ryu Hye-young, and Director Kim Do-young.

The film 'Intern' tells the story of an office life that transcends generations and ranks, beginning when 37-year veteran silver intern Ki-ho (played by Choi Min-sik) joins the company of Sun-woo (played by Han So-hee), who has emerged as a dark horse in the fashion industry just three years after its launch. The film is a remake of the 2015 Hollywood release 'The Intern'.

When asked to highlight Han So-hee's strengths compared to the original film's actors, Choi Min-sik said, "Anne Hathaway in the original is a truly great actor. She does an excellent job. Watching 'The Odyssey,' you go, 'Wow.'" He added, "However, in our work, Han So-hee also has her own unique strengths. She does an excellent job. It was very gratifying and enjoyable to act alongside her."

Choi Min-sik further noted the distinction by saying, "We discussed creating our story while retaining the essence of the original. There was some pressure, but we tried not to carry that burden until the end."

Meanwhile, 'Intern' is scheduled for release on the 16th, just before the Chuseok holiday.
