On May 9, KST, OSEN reported that Han is one of the leading names being considered for the lead role in the Korean remake of The Intern. The 2015 cult classic starred Anne Hathaway in the role of Jules, a charismatic female CEO who achieved immense success at a young age.

The character of Jules was portrayed as a young, passionate leader with a taste for good fashion and an intense level of workaholism. According to OSEN, Han So Hee’s unique refined visuals and acting skills are being deemed as a good fit for this character.

The Hollywood original also starred Robert De Niro in the role of Ben, a retired executive who rejoins the workforce as an intern at Jules’ company. This lead role is expected to go to veteran actor Choi Min Sik in the Korean remake.
