Yunjin Kim Biography

Yunjin Kim is a Korean American actress who has worked in both cinema and theatre. Outside of South Korea, she is best known for playing Sun-Hwa Kwon on the ABC television series "Lost." Seoul, South Korea is where Kim was born. Kim moved to New York with her family when she was eleven years old, where she attended a performing arts high school. She studied acting at the London Academy of Performing Arts after graduating from high school, and she subsequently received a degree in drama from Boston University. Kim made acting her full-time career after graduating. She had many brief television appearances in soap opera-style dramas on ABC, MTV, and off-Broadway. In order to appear in the Korean TV drama "A Gorgeous Vacation," she was persuaded to go back to her native country in 1996 by a call from a Korean TV show that was filmed in Manhattan. Then, in "Foreboding" and the miniseries "Wedding Dress," she played two more parts. Then, in 1997, a script for her first movie, "Shiri," was provided to her (1999). The first big-budget movie made in Korea, "Shiri," surpassed all previous records for box office revenue in 1999. Kim consequently became well-known throughout Korea. She acted in five more movies over the ensuing years. Kim signed a three-year deal with William Morris in July 2003. William Morris is an American talent agency that also represents Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, Kevin Spacey, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan, and Reese Witherspoon. She got her big break in American television when she was given the role of Sun Kwon in the hit television series "Lost." Kim appeared in each of the six seasons, which was remarkable for a program that frequently killed off the key characters. Kim was included in Maxim's annual Hot 100 List in May 2006. She appeared in the magazine as well as on the cover of Stuff in October 2006. In March 2007, Kim had another appearance in Maxim, when she was referred to as "the Korean Julia Roberts" in her home Asia. She made a comeback to ABC in 2013, but this time with the radically different series "Mistresses." Its second season has just begun.
