I lost touch with “Lost” for a few seasons but managed to follow the penultimate season and am looking forward to seeing how many questions will be answered in this last season of the hit TV series. In one interview with TV.com, Kim revealed that her character didn’t even exist in the pilot but after she went in to read for another character, J.J. Abrams was so intrigued with the notion of having a character who pretended not to speak English. That lead to the addition of Kim’s character and subsequently the character of Jin was created.
Kim also reveals: “You are going to see a different side to Sun, and how she relates to... how do I say it? She's... hmmm... she still has the same intentions, she's there to find Jin on the island. But then there's a different storyline. We had flash-forwards and flashbacks, now we have flash-something else, and in this storyline, I have a very different relationship with Jin.” Can’t wait to see Season 6.
At the same time, I’m looking forward to seeing her new Korean movie which features an ( almost) all-female cast ( not unlike the other movie, The Actresses). The last time I saw her in a movie, it was way back when she played a North Korean agent in Shiri. Kim Yunjin plays Jeong-hye who is in prison after killing her abusive husband and is forced to give up her baby boy for adoption. She is determined to establish her own prison choir as the prison warden has promised her time with her son if she succeeds. Problem is, she’s tone deaf, hence the ironic title of the movie. After seeing a trailer of this new movie on youtube, I’m determined to watch Harmony with mum. Think both of us would need a box of Kleenex each.
Then on the 29th of March, Kim married Park Jeong-hyuk, the head of her entertainment company in Hawaii. They’ve been working together for eight years and dating since 2002. Park was described by his bride as a “humorous and caring” person who has supported her through good and bad times. Looks like Ms Kim will still be spending a lot of time in the States and balancing her acting commitments with her new role as wife as well as shuttling back and forth between two continents as she has homes in both Seoul and Los Angeles.
