Lost - Yunjin Kim on Korean Culture (Paley Center)

[@SpokaneJohn]

Wish there where more things korean on American tv. I loved Sun on lost

[@jasonchung4968]

This actually did age well. 🤣

[@clocko2700]

Her voice is so soothing

[@deliabookworm]

Yunjin Kim is so beautiful. :)

[@ergenekon9981]

Real diversity with character development and a story for each individual without forcing something up like they do today.

[@marshacollier9516]

If they actually had non-white people behind the scenes as writer and showrunners it wouldn't seem so forced and inauthentic

[@Leandro-X.2025.Alkebulan]

@@marshacollier9516 Simple as that. Or just give the non-white people everything they have been stolen of, give it back and then we won't have to even be on their platforms, let alone use their studios. We'll be on the same level, and then we will see whom does better things and whom succeeds more! Oh But FEAR keeps them from giving those reparations check, something that they owe the people(at least people of color, american indians included). If the BP get reparations and decide to leave America or open their own studios, then MOST of those entertainment studios they work for will be without its talents. From the music to the movies, to the sports and so on. And if EVERYBODY stopped robbing Africa of its resources and minerals, we would all happily be in Africa creating our own stuff,

I never messed with Lost back in the day, I have recently decided I like it - but I remember Daniel from "Star Trek: Enterprise" - and he sounds more regular-ass American than I do lol ... completely different than a Lost Korean Who Can't Speak English And Is Stuck On An Island lol.

[@Ser_Arthur_Dayne]

He was in Star Trek: Enterprise as a "MAKO" - basically a Starfleet Navy SEAL - and he spoke English better than I do with less of an accent than me, and I'm 101% Yank lol...

[@connorbingham6473]

I’m not Korean but I’m glad there was

[@aliyahbebley-do1dn]

Here from Netflix just fell I love with this show wish it was even more seasons

[@hollywoodwerewolf]

Yunjin is an extraordinary woman. I liked Sun's reunion with Jin...

[@9faris3]

She can speak English! My research of her after watching Miss Ma Goddess of Revenge lead me here. Now I really wanna watch Lost just because of her. Her voice is just so soothing when she says certain words especially in Korean. I like that.

[@shannoncrawford5812]

Ohhh You liked Miss Ma too, that was a good show. I'm excited to see Yunjin in the Korean remake of Money Heist this year

[@ReconRaptor]

Mad props to Koreans fo sho

[@CaptainArn]

I saw Daniel Day Kim on 24 and he comes up and he speaks English like a pro and all I'd seen him on was Lost, where he couldn't speak it at all. Guess I missed Hurley's dream. I was like wot. Like I knew he must have been able to speak English to do Lost to begin with, but it didnt sink in til that moment.

[@RLee-oz6gl]

lol you got the complete opposite. He is a Hawaii born actor who wasn't fluent in korean before he was cast in Lost.

[@PJP1112]

@@RLee-oz6gl no.. you are wrong,, Daniel Dae Kim was born in Korea and moved to the US as a baby being raised in Pennsylvania. He does not speak Korean well at all. In fact he had to learn a lot of korean for Lost and his accent is horrible. A native korean speaker would know instantly he was not a native korean speaker.

[@jaylynn444]

He’s SO handsome & sweet! ❤️

[@thearaban]

What? If anything Lost is still 100x better than Heroes. Heroes season 1 was excellent. Lost is brillant as a whole.

[@HisTopSoldier]

Yunjin was the best lady on the show bro. When she handed the book with little boat translations to Jin I got tears in my eyes. My girl was crying beside me but I was acting tough as hell lmao.

[@אורייןברכה-ח1כ]

Sun Jin you are beautiful together ♥ ️ ♥ ️

[@elephantasmic]

They do have full korean names- Sunhwa and Jinsoo. They're referred to as Sun and Jin because it's easier for english speakers. What I'm annoyed at is that Sun took on Jin's last name when they were married.

[@bri9]

elephantasmic do they not do that in Korea?

[@blue3374]

brittny No. Wives do not take after their husband’s last names in Korea; it remains the same.

[@manakin5]

@@blue3374 Interesting. I'm sure they brought that up during production, but I guess the showrunners felt that it would be too confusing for American (non-Korean) audiences to understand that difference.

[@lese1841]

@Brandon WTH?? I am korean and i've never heard of wives following her husband's last name. what do you mean it's tradition and common??

[@jane6258]

@Brandon you mean their child take father’s last name;).. not wife.. wife take HER father’s last name in family traditionally... you must’ve been confused. Well,tradition sucks anyway.

[@symbolt]

@dandesade She isn't struggling! She is pausing when trying to think of examples of her input. Her English is perfectly native and fluent, the only trace of accent can be heard sometimes in the way she pronounces "s" (also, devoicing where it should be a "z" at the end of a word), but if she wasn't Korean, this would be considered a lisp. I've listened to many interviews with her speaking English, and it's perfectly natively fluent throughout.

[@Bouncybon]

I am English (in London) but even I realize that Korea is a very distinct culture and a homogenous race of people in a small peninsular territory. I have spent 12 years in Asia and I am always interested in anything about China and Japan. But I only visited Korea recently - it's a lovely country with admirable people. So different from the Chinese! So different from the Japanese! Courteous, strong, sincere, genuine. Koreans are NOT some kind of "sub-category" of East Asians. Crazy idea.

[@JeremiahNg]

koreans still use 당신 (dang-shin) especially at the age with yunjin is at.. with spouses its very common.. so no it's not archaic. there's archaic korean and its called 고어 (go-eo) and you see it spoken in period dramas of the ancient world like "jumong" or "kingdom of the wind"

[@한윤동-d3z]

Although I watch this video in 2019, i realize that Sun's English speaking is really awsome :D

[@TheNightOwlsSquadron]

[@MilkByCow]

@MilkByCow Hence, despite an attempted portrayal of Korean culture instead only succeeded in abbreviating the combined cultures of the Sinosphere with Korean faces at the forefront.

[@Karin_semicolon]

at first i thought Sun Kwon or Kwon Sun Ah is her real name. i mean on that series. but then i just release if Kwon is Daniel family name (coz i didnt watch the Lost series so so hard to find the first episode since the first season on my country). i think korean couple (marry couple) didnt using her husband last name at all.

[@MilkByCow]

lol well after thousands of years of being conquered by China, Japan, and ripped in half by the U.S., I don't blame Koreans for investing more outspoken pride in their culture than other groups. But I agree with what you are saying - take down those cultural borders and lose the old world politics. But I'd like to add that this can be done without having Asians lump themselves as a collective group.

[@blue3374]

MilkByCow lmao ripped in half by the US; maybe if the NK communist assholes weren’t such ignorant stupid shits in the first place our country wouldn’t have been split in half

[@MilkByCow]

I think the reason you've gotten 6 thumbs down sofar (none contributed by me), is because it sounds like you're saying it's okay to lump these unique and distinct groups (though admittedly, superficially similar) together. There is a lot of history and politics regarding inter-Asian relations, and to lump everyone together would be to downplay the significance of each culture.

[@MilkByCow]

@pokemonfan4ever11 In my opinion, Jin and Sun started out as a traditionally Confucian, my initial perception of Jin and Sun embodied the traditional Confucian values not unique to a specific nation in the Orient. Sure, they were Korean. But from what I saw, nothing they did was unique to Korea and not also present in Japan or China. Confucian values, Sun's father as a mob boss (a la Triads or Yakuza) stereotype, their home in Korea or the traditional temple where they wedded.

[@에이드-z7c]

Where is kate??

[@PurushaDesa]

I think it's amazing how many Americans like to lump demographics together and oversimplify them (Christ - trying to explain the diversity of the UK, always gets frustrating when it's really just like a small USA with 4 states or provinces). And yet I think every non-American understands to try and lump the cultures of Texans and New Yorkers together would be quite mad.
