The Mungyeong Cultural Arts Center will screen the Korean remake of the Hollywood film "The Intern" on Nov. 20 and Nov. 21, both at 7:30 p.m., at the Munhee Art Hall in Mungyeong, North Gyeongsang Province, the city announced Tuesday.
The film is a Korean remake of the 2015 Hollywood original, which drew wide audiences at home and abroad, reimagined to resonate with Korean sensibilities.
Choi Min-sik takes on the silver intern role originated by Robert De Niro, while Han So-hee steps into the role of the young CEO of a fashion brand, originally played by Anne Hathaway. The cross-generational chemistry between Choi and Han is billed as one of the film's main draws.
The story follows a young CEO who built a fashion brand to 10 billion won ($7.38 million) in sales within three years of founding it, and a silver intern who brings decades of experience to the table. Their unlikely partnership traces a journey of mutual understanding across generational and values divides.
As the two grow together, the film delivers a message about the value of communication and empathy between generations, offering warm laughs and heartfelt moments.
"The Intern offers audiences a chance to rediscover the warmth of a beloved global original through a Korean lens," said Kim Jeong-bu, director of the cultural arts center. "I hope the film's message of understanding and support across generations brings audiences both joyful laughter and a lingering warmth."
Tickets are priced at 2,000 won for all seats and are open to viewers aged 12 and older. Reservations — both on-site at the main performance hall and online — open Thursday at 9 a.m. Further details are available on the Mungyeong city government website.
