Entertainment Weekly interviewed Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim on location in Hawaii (watch the video here).

Daniel and Yunjin talk about Lost Season 4 and what is coming in the next few months. “Sun watching her husband, Jin, blow up in front of her eyes, that was as dramatic as we’re going to get on this show!” Yunjin says. Daniel believes that his favorite season is the first one.

Yunjin says that her character has been isolated in Season 5. “It’s really interesting, you get to see a new side of Sun!” Daniel tells us that the Oceanic Six are trying to get back to the Island and there is a lot of action going on.

Yunjin Kim is being featured in a new marketing campaign for The Summit on Sixth, a luxury condo development in Los Angeles!

Yunjin is set to appear in both newspaper and magazine advertisements, as well as other marketing materials in both English and Korean.

Yunjin says that she was impressed with the condo development and expressed a personal interest in the property. She even reserved a unit of her own! “It was by fate that this partnership with Big Rock came about. They didn’t know I was looking for a home in LA, and when I toured the property, I was really impressed with the design and its central location. People that know me can attest to my attention to detail, and I wouldn’t endorse something I didn’t believe in. I wouldn’t call a place home if it didn’t feel like home, and The Summit felt like home,” said Yunjin.

UGO recently interviewed Yunjin Kim and she briefly to get her thoughts on Lost’s upcoming fourth season.

UGO: What is your assessment as an actor of season 4 in comparison to the other seasons. Is there a difference between a Season 4 episode versus one from, say, season two?

Yunjin: I feel like they are more self contained. So each episode, you start with something with a definite answer, and of course another question opens up with every answer, nut I feel like they are more contained. It’s a faster pace. So some of the frustrations that viewers were having with Lost, of going on and on and on and not getting near the answer, I think all of that, or some of that, will go away with season 4. So I’m super excited.

So I’m super excited.

Definitely. And, ya know… Sun, up towards the end of season 3, she has one of the overarching imperatives now, that really seem to go along with the new plot of getting off the island, where the pregnancy is particularly in danger. Are we seeing more of Sun this season than we typically would?

Well, yes and no. Well, now with the newcomers. Ya know, supposedly these people who are going to rescue us, the first couple episodes, They are concentrating on more on their back stories and who they are why they’re here on the island. The 7th episode is our episode, they provide for Sun and Jin and our crazy flashback stories all over again, and then you… you find out more. But, again, in that episode in itself, it’s totally self contained. It feels like one little, ya know, one mini-movie at a time. But… but it’s sort of satisfying because you sort of get the arch of the story versus… ya know, having 7 questions at the end. You might have 3, but not… not 7 to 10.

Now your season 4 episode, I don’t know if you can say this… but is it a flashback or a flash forward?

Umm… I think that would be a spoiler. But, we have a twist with that, with it being a flash forward or a flash back, so I would rather keep it, ya know, secret for now. I think what’s interesting about our episode is because we deal with that. I’m not saying that ours is a flash forward. There’s a little twist to it.

Going way back to the beginning of the show, and I’ve heard this a couple of different ways, and I’m hoping that you can clear that up for me. One story is that you originally came in to audition for Kate, and then the other was that it was really just an open audition and that they really intended to create a character for you all along. Is that… Which of those is most the accurate?

I don’t think they were looking at me as an actress to play Kate. They really wanted to sit down and meet up with me because they heard about my background story. Ya know, how I grew up in New York, but went back to Korea… did some movies out there, and was quite successful. But then, leaving all that and coming back to Hollywood and starting from scratch. Especially JJ Abrahams, he was very fascinated with my story, and… and ya know… when I went in to read… The only role, the only size they had available was, was Kate. So obviously I did read for Kate. But I think right off the bat, they weren’t looking at me to play Kate. They were just looking for other possibilities. And umm, ya know, right after I walked out of the room, they decided to actually create a character, which became Sun. And I think about 3 days later, they decided to add on, ya know, another character… Which became Jin.

In your recent “Missing Pieces” mobisode, it was indicated that there was sort of a romantic attraction between Michael and Sun. Is that something they were considering at the time Season One was being put together?

I definitely know that was sort of the route that they wanted to take. But then they… And the viewers also responded well with Sun and Jin, and they were rooting for… for … like, for the only married couple on the island to work out their problems. So, I think, for sure, in the beginning, the writers were heading towards, ya know, Sun possibly leaving Jin, and ya know, starting a relationship with Michael, and having a, sort of a love triangle between the three of us. We did explore it, alot actually, but, but then, ya know, they decided to drop the whole love triangle between the three of us. So I guess that’s one of the things they they wanted to shoot, but never really got to it, because they felt like it wasn’t right for the story line. They just decided not to go with it. So, it was fun actually. For, ya know, for one of our mobisodes we actually went back and… ya know… I had to wear a wig, we, we got our woredrobe from… actually… beginning of season 2, and going back to it, it was fun, it was a fun experience.

Alot is made of the fact that you’re a huge star in Korea. Umm. I’m wondering if you can give some perspective on that. When you return to Korea are you stalked by paparazzi?

Well, luckily in Korea, there are no paparazzi. Your personal life is really your personal. I mean, of course, people know who you are, so if you walk around, you’re not as free as… ya know, someone whose not a celebrity. People like coming up to see you, but You’re safe, in a way. So, I’ve never had problems… walking around, doing my own little things… Running errands out in Korea, because, sure they’ll say hi, sometimes they want to take pictures. Sometimes they make a huge fuss… sometimes they make very little. It varies. But, umm… So I have to say, it’s alot more… I guess, Celebrity-friendly in Korea than in America. But then again, I never dealt with paparazzi, not that much, because we’re all out here in Hawaii. So… umm… Ya know, very few of us had to really live with that. So, in a sense, I feel like we’re really lucky to be actually shooting out here, sort of removed from all that, and actually concentrate on working on the show. Because that’s, ya know, the most important part, of it. I don’t know how I would deal with it if I were being followed 24/7. Ya know, I totally sympathize, and I think it’s a bit much.

So you’ve shot over 60 episodes now, way more with season 4, what is your favorite ‘moment’ so far?

It was a flashback of, umm, Sun and Jin, and how they actually met, in the beginning. I remember, Steven Williams, our producer, directed that episode, and… in the very last moment, where, Jin just gets fired, and then he’s walking, and he’s sad, and then he’s… he bumps into Sun. And there’s a moment between Jin and Sun, where they’re just looking at each other. And, I just… I really like that moment. I think.. it defines how they started. And hopefully, we’ll have a happy ending at the end of season 6. I always, I always say that’s my favorite moment, on the show.

The Lost cast chatted with Entertainment Today about their life after being launched into stardom:

Jorge Garcia explained that their lives haven’t been “normal” since the series debuted. “I still haven’t gotten comfortable with the attention, but I appreciate that the fans care about my character,” Garcia said. He added that one of the most difficult aspects about being part of the production is keeping up with all the different storylines involving different cast members on the island. “Sometimes it feels like there are two different shows going on, or more, as the storylines take strange turns.”

Yunjin Kim has arguably been the most surprising character to emerge from all the plot twists. And she admitted that she loves the way the show has personally changed her life.

“It seems it changed overnight. Wow! I have a recognizable face walking down the street,” Kim beamed. “I worked out in Korea for about four or five years before coming out to do Lost. I was very lucky, getting great roles and great movies (in Korea). I became a recognizable face there, but this is different. This is world wide. Lost is being shown in more than 200 countries.”

Besides “instant” fame, what she loves most about the show is that “it asks all the questions that we ask as human beings– the humanities, why are we here? Who are we? There’s got to be a reason. And I feel like there are deeper issues, such as creating a society with a bunch of strangers, something that not too many TV series deal with. Then there’s the specter of the monster…the polar bear…the jungle. It has everything to make us think.”

Daniel Dae Kim added, “All of us on the show are really proud of being part of something so special.”

Although Josh Holloway is excellent playing the cool con man, whose sinister dark side has been explored in intriguing flashbacks, he is very different from his Sawyer character in real life.

“Okay, I’m supposed to be a bit of a cad, but that’s not me, believe me,” Holloway insisted. “Sometimes I wake up and stare at my wife and think of how lucky I am. But that’s not the kind of stuff that people write about.”

Josh is really a nice guy who grew up in Georgia, then headed to Los Angeles to give acting a try. He appeared in some TV roles and independent films, but admitted, “There were many times I’d think about getting my real estate license and giving up the acting business.”

Now he’s thrilled to be living in Hawaii with his wife, and his boat. “My big thing now is spending time on my boat, heading out until I can’t see land anymore.”

He claims to be a pretty good sailor, so he’s not afraid of getting lost. Besides, being an integral part of the hit TV show, he’s sure someone would send out a search part to find him if he did really get lost.

Yunjin Kim was selected as AskMen.com’s actress of the week!

why we like her?

Yunjin Kim’s nickname in Korean is “Woman Warrior” thanks to her propensity for playing deadly assassins. The trend began in 1999 when she played a North Korean sniper in the film Shiri. “From then on, I played every cool girl with a gun,” she says.

why is she famous?

A bona fide star in her native South Korea, Yunjin Kim is quickly achieving notoriety in America thanks to her dazzling performance as castaway Sun-Hwa Kwon on Lost. “What makes Lost special is that it’s very universal,” she says. “There’s always at least one character that lets you take the show to another country and people can relate to it, even though the show’s not from that country. The characters are universal.”

her overall rating: 81
