New Interview with LOST actress Yunjin Kim who plays Sun

What were your expectations when you signed on as a cast member?

When I read the script, I thought it was like a movie script. I had never seen anything like this on television. I thought, "Either this is going to be the best TV show or the worst TV show." And when I say it had the potential to be bad, I mean so bad that we would be made fun of for years!

What do you think of the journey of personal growth that Sun has taken over the years?

Sun has come such a long way from the pilot. If you remember, she was very subservient, a really quiet, scared woman who did whatever she was told by her husband. Now you cut to Season 6 and she’s a very different woman and very much her own person. That’s something that [producers] J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof promised from the beginning. I was concerned that I was playing into this stereotypical image of that Asian woman. But J.J. said, "You’re going to end up loving this character."

Sun and her husband Jin (played by Daniel Dae Kim) differ from most of the other characters. Your thoughts about their relationship?

Sun and Jin’s stories have touched a lot of people, I think, because we are the only married couple on the island. We do have Rose and Bernard, but they’re guest stars. They sometimes show up and sometimes don’t, and they’re loved by fans as well. But Sun and Jin represent the only marriage and the most real and most tangible relationship on the island. And people root for us. They can’t wait to see us get back together and into each other’s arms. People really want to see a happy ending for Sun and Jin. It’s really touching.

What will be your most cherished memory of working on the show?

I had a such good feeling about it once I stepped into the set of Lost for the first time and saw that chopped-off half plane sitting on the beach. That was my first impression: "Oh, my God, is that a real plane chopped up in half?" And they said, "Yeah, we brought it in from L.A." This beautiful Hawaiian beach and the chaos of the crash site to contradict it, it was quite stunning. I think I will always remember that first moment of just going, "Wow!"

"Lost" star Kim Yun-jin has found herself a home in Los Angeles' Koreatown.

Kim, a South Korean actress who plays Sun Kwon on the ABC series, said she plans to move into the Summit on Sixth condo development when construction is complete later this year.

Kim reserved a one-bedroom unit with a den, which generally sells for between $660,000 and $880,000, sales director Tamara Kim said Tuesday.

The actress will promote the luxury condo project in Korean- and English-language magazine and newspaper advertisements, according to developer Big Rock Partners LLC. She reserved a unit while meeting with developers about promoting the project, said Big Rock spokeswoman Phyllis Hu.

"When I toured the property, I was really impressed with the design and its central location," Kim Yun-jin said in a news release.

The building sits at the intersection of two major streets cutting through Koreatown, a bustling 5-square mile area of central Los Angeles featuring hundreds of Korean-owned businesses.

Tamara Kim said the developer was eager to recruit Kim Yun-jin as its spokeswoman for the 11-story project because of her appeal to a broad swath of potential Korean and Korean-American buyers.

Kim Yun-jin became an international star with her performance on "Lost" after an acting career that included a starring role in "Swiri," a 1998 movie considered the first South Korean blockbuster.

"She's very popular in Korea and she's well known in the Korean community here," Tamara Kim said. "She has a wide audience."
