Daniel Dae Kim is the Korean known as Jin Kwon on Lost. He cannot speak English in the show, and for most of the season does not know his wife could speak it. However, he later finds out that she is pretty fluent in both Korean and English.
We saw Jin as kind of a jerk in the beginning of the first season. He gave his wife, Sun, no personal freedom whatsoever. He would not let her open a button at the top of her shirt, nor would he let her appear in a bathing suit. But then we started to like Jin later on.
Jin attacked Michael when he saw Michael wearing a watch that Sun's father gave him. Michael didn't know it was Jin's but later Sun tells him it is. Jin is handcuffed to part of the plain wreckage to prevent him from attacking Michael again, but later when Michael realized it was because of the watch, he freed Jin.
We found out that Sun's father was the head of some sort of Korean mafia, and when Jin asked his permission to marry his daughter, the father told him to work for him in exchange for his daughter's hand. Jin did not know what kind of work it was. He was told he would have to deliver a message to a Byung Han, and instead of delivering it the way Sun's father wanted him to deliver it, he simply told Han very kindly that he(Han) displeased Sun's father. The father then had one of his mafia assisstants go with Jin back to Han's and show Jin how to really deliver a message the right way. And to prevent the guy from shooting Han, Jin quickly rushed in the house and beat him(Han) up, telling him he just saved his life. Sun's father's mafia assisstant then realized that the message was delivered clear enough and left.
Sun realized the kind of work Jin was doing to support them, and she took English lessons so she could escape Jin and go to America, but she found out she loved him too much and stayed with him.
Jin visited his father, and he helped him(Jin) to decide to quit after his current job he was performing for Sun's father. He was to deliver watches to Sydney and Los Angeles, and then while in Los Angeles, he and Sun would stay in America to prevent him from doing anymore dirty work for her father. But, the plane crashed on the way to LA.
Jin was accused by Michael for burning the raft because Michael felt he(Jin) had something against him. But Sun explained to the survivors that Jin did not start the fire.
Jin felt betrayed by his wife because she never told him she could speak English, and when she asked if they could start over, he said it was too late.
Jin was one of four along with Michael, Walt, and Sawyer to leave the island by raft so they could get help for all the survivors. Jin was doing it mostly to help his wife.
Jin is really cool just like his wife, Sun. They are two pretty well-liked survivors on the Lost island. At first I didn't like Jin, but then he grew on me. So he is a character I'm hoping will be even better in the second season.
Season 1(8.0)
