Get ready to swoon and laugh! The highly anticipated Korean remake of ‘The Intern’ is drawing closer, and its star-studded cast recently reunited for a lively dinner that’s already making waves among fans. From Han So Hee’s adorable, repeated compliments for co-star Ryu Hye Young to Choi Min Shik’s perfectly timed, playful interruptions, the evening was packed with moments that prove their on-screen chemistry will be undeniable.
This delightful gathering was shared with the world on August 13, when actress Ryu Hye Young uploaded a video titled “Everyone I’m close with, come together. ‘The Intern’ after-party” to her personal YouTube channel. Fans immediately flocked to see their favorite stars interact in such a candid setting.
A Star-Studded Reunion for ‘The Intern’
The video featured a full house of talent, including Ryu Hye Young herself, the legendary Choi Min Sik, the stunning Han So Hee, along with Yoon Sang Jung, Park Ye Ni, and other beloved cast members, all enjoying a hearty meal together. Having reunited roughly a year after filming wrapped, the actors showcased their incredibly comfortable and genuine off-screen chemistry throughout the entire gathering, giving fans a heartwarming glimpse into their bond.
Ryu Hye Young, as the resident videographer for the night, charmingly walked around the table with her camera, introducing each of her co-stars one by one. The moment she pointed the camera at Han So Hee and playfully introduced her as “2026 So Hee,” Han So Hee, with her signature casual elegance, flashed a peace sign, instantly melting hearts.
Han So Hee’s Adorable Compliments for Ryu Hye Young
When asked by Ryu Hye Young how she felt ahead of the film’s release, Han So Hee, in a wonderfully candid moment, initially ignored the question. Instead, she burst out with an enthusiastic exclamation, “Ryu Hye Young is pretty!” Ryu Hye Young, ever the professional, gently reminded her, “So Hee, it’s 2026. We filmed this in 2025,” explaining that the cast had reunited after approximately a year. Han So Hee, however, was clearly smitten, simply repeating her sincere admiration, “You’re just pretty,” much to the amusement of everyone present and continuing to shower her co-star with compliments.
Choi Min Shik’s Playful Antics Steal the Laughter
The comedy only escalated when veteran actor Choi Min Sik added his iconic touch to the evening as Ryu Hye Young continued filming the lively gathering. “Go do your YouTube somewhere else,” he jokingly called out, his playful gruffness immediately drawing chuckles.
Undeterred by his good-natured teasing, Ryu Hye Young bravely turned the camera toward him and proudly introduced him as “actor Choi Min Sik, who represents our country.” Choi Min Sik, with perfect comedic timing, immediately responded, “Be quiet,” before humorously telling her, “Hurry up and drink,” prompting even more laughter and cementing the warm, familial atmosphere around the table.
Ryu Hye Young, finally giving in to her respected senior’s playful demands, conceded with a smile, saying, “My senior told me I’m being loud, so I’ll stop now,” before playfully turning off the camera. Even with the camera off, her enthusiasm for the project was clear. She also shared her genuine hopes for the upcoming film, expressing, “Will our movie do well? I really hope it does.” Teasing her own role and adding to the anticipation, she added, “I’m a comedic character. Please look forward to the comedy showdown between Park Ye Ni and Ryu Hye Young.”
