[E-Daily Starin Gim Ga Yeong Reporter] Actress Han So-hee apologized after Son Suk-hee called her out for making a joke about her “age.”
Actors Choi Min-sik and Han So-hee appeared as guests on MBC Standard FM’s “Son Seok-hee’s 12 O’Clock,” which aired on the 17th.
During the show, Son Seok-hee asked Choi Min-sik, “Is there anything you’ve learned from Han So-hee?” Choi Min-sik replied, “Rather than saying I’ve learned something, there’s something I envy: her youth,” adding, “I felt like if I could go back to that time, I’d work even harder.”
He continued, “Young people have a certain energy. That vitality is truly different,” adding, “Maturity and experience are important, but I envied that raw, pure energy.”
Son Suk-hee also addressed Han So-hee, saying, “I’m a little older than actor Choi Min-sik. From our perspective, I envy her.”
Han So-hee replied, “Thank you,” but added, “There’s no set order to how things go,” to which Son Seok-hee pointed out, “You shouldn’t say things like that.” Han So-hee immediately apologized, saying, “I’m sorry.”
When asked what she had learned from Choi Min-sik, Han So-hee replied, “This might sound arrogant of me, but I used to think I was practicing art. I dared to think of myself as a practitioner of art, but watching him, I realized, ‘This is what a true artist looks like.’ Sometimes he’s more pure-hearted than I am, and at other times, he thinks more youthfully than I do. From the moment I started acting, I thought, ‘When I reach Senior Choi Min-sik’s age, I want to grow old just like him,’” revealing her deep respect for Choi Min-sik.
Meanwhile, the film “The Intern,” starring Choi Min-sik and Han So-hee, topped the box office on the 19th, having drawn 61,142 viewers on the 18th alone, according to data from the Korean Film Council’s integrated theater ticketing system. Its cumulative audience count stands at 189,862.
Released on the 16th, *The Intern* is a Korean reinterpretation of the 2015 Hollywood film of the same name starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. It tells the story of what unfolds when Ki-ho (played by Choi Min-sik), a “silver intern” with 37 years of experience, joins the company led by Seon-woo (played by Han So-hee), the CEO of a fashion startup. Director Kim Do-young, known for “Kim Ji-young, Born 1982” and “What If We…?”, helmed the film.
