Just rented the Korean movie "Yesterday" where Yunjin plays the main female character. The movie was disappointing, Korean version of Minority Report, but it was worth watching just to see a younger, gorgeous Yunjin (2003 release...Pre-Lost) One surprise was her perfectly smooth English monologue towards the beginning of the movie. After Googling the actress, I learned that she studied in the US, hence her multilingual ability. So what we have in effect are two Korean actors on Lost, both who speak perfect English, but play parts in which one is illiterate (Jin) and the other speaks broken English (Sun). Well, at least they got the races correct, unlike Star Trek (i.e. Garret Wang (Chinese) playing a Korean character (Ensign Harry Kim) and Linda Park (Korean) playing a Japanese character (Ensign Hoshi Sato)):rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yup, it's true, they are both putting on accents.
