South Korea is preparing the release of a local remake of the 2015 Hollywood comedy ‘The Intern’, scheduled to open in cinemas on 16 September 2026.

Produced by Warner Bros. Korea and directed by Kim Do-young, the film stars Choi Min-sik as Kim Gi-ho, a 70-year-old ‘silver intern’ with 37 years of professional experience, and Han So-hee as Seon Woo, the ambitious founder of a fast-growing fashion startup. The narrative explores generational gaps, workplace dynamics, and inter-generational mentorship as the protagonist adapts to a modern, digital-focused environment.

The supporting cast includes Kim Jun Han as vice president Young Hwan and Ryu Hye Young as Min Ah, a management support team leader described as an ‘AI-obsessed’ professional.
