YUNJIN KIM
Sun on the ABC Television Network's "Lost"

An accomplished actress who has already made a name for herself in Korea -- and all over Asia with the film "Shiri" -- Yunjin Kim is making her mark on American television with "Lost."

Kim was bashful as a kid, so she decided to get over her shyness by taking drama classes in the seventh grade. She was immediately cast in a musical and fell in love with the theatre.

Her Korean feature film credits include starring roles in "Ardor," "Yesterday," "Iron Palm," "Ginko Bed 2," "Diary of June," "Seven Days," "Harmony" and the Japanese film "Rush," as well as roles in the television weekend dramas "With Love" and "Wedding Dress," and the miniseries "Hunch" and "Beautiful Vacation." For her role in "Seven Days," she was nominated for a 2008 Blue Dragon, Korean Film Award and won Grand Bell Award for Best Actress. She also guest hosted on ABC's "The View."

Kim was the Goodwill Ambassador for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea, representing Korea. While born in Seoul, Korea, she grew up in Staten Island, New York. She attended the prestigious High School of Performing Arts in New York and received her BFA in acting from Boston University.
