During an interview ahead of the release of the film 'Project Y,' Han Sohee mentioned the movie 'The Intern' which she recently finished filming. She shared that she learned about passion and humility from Choi Minsik.

Han Sohee said, "Senior Choi Minsik is someone you can never predict. Even if I went in with hundreds or thousands of ways to approach a scene, it felt like he was always several steps ahead. I realized he was a mountain that can't be conquered."

She added, "His energy, in particular, was amazing. It made me wonder if I could have that kind of energy if I were still acting at his age. I thought that just having that level of energy alone would already mean doing half the job on set. He loves acting like crazy. Watching him made me think, 'I still have a long, long way to go.'"

'The Intern,' which marks the first collaboration between the two, follows the story of Sunwoo (Han Sohee), the CEO of a fashion company who is more passionate about her work than anyone, as she hires Giho (Choi Minsik), a man with a wealth of life experience whom she hires as a senior intern. The film is a remake of the Hollywood movie released in 2015 that achieved global box-office success. The project is directed by Kim Doyoung, known for 'Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982' and 'Once We Were Us.'

Choi Minsik plays the older intern, the role originally played by Robert De Niro. Meanwhile Han Sohee, plays the young CEO. The project, which drew major attention from the casting stage, has recently completed filming and entered post-production.

Entering the 9th year since debut, Han Sohee said she does not tend to praise herself. She also emphasized that 'skill' is the most important thing in an environment where charming new actors are constantly emerging. She said, “These days, there are many people who are good at acting, beautiful, and talented. My homework is to continue meeting the public with an irreplaceable charm.”

'Project Y,' which will showcase Han Sohee’s latest acting transformation, is set to be released on the 21st.
