Kim Yunjin Steals Spotlight in "Lost"

Actress Kim Yunjin has entered the spotlight recently for her role in the ABC hit miniseries "Lost", captivating the hearts of the American audience with her fluent English skills and a scene where she appears in a bikini.

The Boston Globe, a local newspaper, wrote on May 22 that "Sun", Kim's character in "Lost", who had spoken her lines solely in Korean in the early episodes of the drama, began to stand out from the rest of the cast for her extraordinary "inner strength" when she began to speak English in the second part of the series. In her interview with the newspaper, Kim said that since she began speaking English in the series, she has received numerous letters from her fans from all over world, who said they had no idea Sun could speak English.

The newspaper also dubbed Sun, who appeared in a bikini in one episode of the series, "the symbol of self-recovery". In that particular story, Sun, who had lived her entire life obeying her husband "Jin-soo" (played by Daniel Kim), puts on a bikini one day and transforms into a confident woman who can stand up for her beliefs.

Kim says the scene where her character appears wearing a bikini was a meaningful one. Sun's words -- "I am going to go and take a swim" -- said while dipping her feet into the water, signaled a turning point in the series' storyline.
