Koo Kyo Hwan becomes more powerful with every death in new 'Reawaken Man: The Red' teaser
The Intern has unveiled its full cast poster and a behind-the-scenes video.
Korean remake of the Hollywood film of the same name, The Intern tells the story of Ki Ho (Choi Min Sik), a senior intern with 37 years of career experience, who joins the company of Sun Woo (Han So Hee), a CEO whose fashion business has become the industry's dark horse just three years after its launch. The film follows their office life as they overcome differences in generation and rank.
The poster brings together Wootutu's employees, including Choi Min Sik as Ki Ho and Han So Hee as Sun Woo, the workaholic CEO of the company.
The poster also introduces Kim Jun Han as Young Hwan, the company's pragmatic vice president; Ryu Hye Young as Min Ah, the head of the management support team who is obssessed with AI; Kim Geum Soon as Hee Sook, a romantic barista; Park Ye Ni as Yu Jin, an MD with boundless passion; Kim Yo Han as Ju Seong, a fellow intern with exceptional social skills; Im Sung Kyun as Jun Hyung, the MD team leader who is a master of navigating office politics; and Yoon Sang Jung as Yun Hee, a fellow intern with a cheerful and candid personality.
The behind-the-scenes video captures the actors' delightful chemistry and the production team's efforts to bring Wootutu to life.
Choi Min Sik, who plays the "senior intern" Ki Ho, shared, "I filmed while thinking about what I would have done if I had joined Wootutu."
Director Kim Do Young remarked, "Simply watching Choi Min Sik blend in with the younger actors was moving in itself."
Han So Hee transforms into Sun Woo, a CEO who may be top-tier in her abilities but an amateur at life. Director Kim Do Young revealed, "Han So Hee tried to give everything she had to offer."
The actors' chemistry also stands out in the behind-the-scenes video. Ryu Hye Young shared, "I hope viewers will also enjoy the fun vibe of Wootutu." Director Kim Do Young revealed, "The mood maker on set was Choi Min Sik," while Han So Hee described Choi Min Sik as "someone who possesses both a cool side and an untainted innocence."
The production team's meticulous efforts to bring Woototu's workspace and style to life were also revealed. Director Kim Do Young researched real fashion companies to capture their corporate culture and work environments in the film. From an office featuring a telephone booth to costumes personally designed by the costume team and styling that highlights each employee's individuality, these details came together to create Woototu's stylish, distinctive atmosphere.
Moreover, Ki Ho's three-piece suit, which contrasts with the employees' free-spirited styles, carries meaning that reflects the character's life. Choi Min Sik explained, "It is the battle uniform of countless 'Ki Hos' who have endured harsh years in the workplace."
Lastly, Choi Min Sik compared The Intern to "the gentle ripples that spread when a stone is thrown into water," while Han So Hee shared, "I hope audiences will leave the theater feeling happy."
The Intern will be released on September 16. Watch the teaser here.
