Entertainment Weekly recently interviewed Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim on location in Hawaii. They discuss the success of season 4 and touch on what’s to come in a few months. The magazine also listed the two actors among their Top 25 Entertainers of the Year. Here's what they had to say about the duo, who came in at number 17 on the list:
"Once upon a time in the land of Lost, a boy named Jin married a girl named Sun. Alas, they did not live happily ever after: Jin grew distant; Sun became alienated. Then they boarded Oceanic 815, and that didn't go so well either. The couple's tenuous relationship played out for years as a nuanced romantic subplot that always felt a tad removed from the other stories on the island. Until season 4, when Lost supercharged the saga of Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Sun (Yunjin Kim) so that the story radiated intrigue, redemption, and heartbreak, and plugged them into the greater mythology of the island. 'We have a fan base, but it tended to be fans of romance,' says Daniel. 'The big question was 'There's a reason Jin and Sun are here. How important are they to the overall story?' [Now] we've started seeing how we tie in.'"
The video provides another confirmation of Jin’s inclusion this season, but did anyone really think he was going to disappear after the explosion of the freighter? The question now is, in what form will he be showing up? Did he survive the blast? Flashbacks? A la Charlie in "The Beginning of the End"? We’ll see.
You can see the first video with Daniel and Yunjin here, and a second one here. Slightly spoilerish, nothing you couldn’t already assume though.
