View Full Version : What Jin do you prefer? Melikon 01-02-2007, 09:16 PM I of course would prefer an articulate English speaking fully functional Jin. GettinLost 01-02-2007, 10:44 PM This was an interesting poll... I voted for a Korean speaking Jin with Sun interpreting. Which is very odd, because in the first part of LOST I couldn't wait for Jin to learn how to speak English! But, for some reason, a totally articulate English-speaking Jin is somehow unappealing!! Weird, huh?? Maybe him speaking a little more English, but I don't think I want him to become entirely fluent. Melikon 01-02-2007, 10:47 PM This was an interesting poll...

Yea, maybe I should've just made the choice an ESL(English as a second language) speaking Jin. That would make more sense I guess. Alkhara 01-03-2007, 04:26 AM I suppose it would be more realistic to have him speaking a few English words here and there. He does do this already, but I would think that after being there 70+ days he would be getting pretty tired of his wife having to translate all the time, and he would be making more of an effort to communicate. But I still love the way that we can work out most of what he's trying to say even though he's speaking Korean. That always makes me smile. :rolleyes: Burnt Sienna 01-03-2007, 09:37 AM An English speaking Jin would be nice. Enough with the mime act already. LostIslandBaby 01-03-2007, 04:40 PM I'm not voting because there isn't a choice that appeals to me. I like Jin no matter what. If his English progresses, that would be great. If not, I don't mind English subtitles. 4815Waiting for disaster16234 01-03-2007, 05:05 PM Hm, I voted Jin seaking Korean with Sun translating because I love the fact that they have this bond with their language (just think of that scene before Jin goes on the raft, when Sun gives him the phrase book thing) but also it makes anything he says in English more meaningful. Like I said, I love the Korean, but maybe he could learn a few more words, just enough to get him by without always being helped by Sun.

LOL, too true;) penyours 01-03-2007, 11:28 PM I would like Jin to be able to speak full sentences and have full conversations with other Losties, when he's speaking to Sun he will still probably use Korean since it would be easier for him. jasoncountdown 01-05-2007, 12:22 AM Voted for Jin speaking Korean w/ Sun translating. You know, team work and all that fun stuff. Im not sure if it'd be realistic if Jin were able to completely pick up on a different language just from hanging around a bunch of english speakers for a couple of months. penyours 01-05-2007, 12:28 AM Voted for Jin speaking Korean w/ Sun translating.

You'd be surprised how easily some people can pick up a new language when they are submersed in it and forced to do it. Also, English is present almost everywhere, including Korea via mass media and the internet, Jin at the very least would be used to hearing it and probably has a few favourite songs in English that he sings along with.

Jin at a karaoke bar, drinking and singing...wish I was there. Seemingly so out of character when you think of Jin as he's portrayed on Lost. :biggrin: irish lost fan 01-05-2007, 09:01 AM I like Jin the way he is. If he learns more english great. But im perfectly happy with him speaking Korean and Sun translating. adam8023 01-05-2007, 11:18 AM Jin speaking more Korean with Sun translating I love Sun and Jin together!!:hug: penyours 01-05-2007, 02:42 PM Jin at a karaoke bar, drinking and singing...wish I was there. Seemingly so out of character when you think of Jin as he's portrayed on Lost. :biggrin: Oh totally, it would happen around the time they met, before they got married and then Jin and Sun could do duets together :biggrin: lovelost4815162342 01-14-2007, 06:10 PM Oh totally, it would happen around the time they met, before they got married and then Jin and Sun could do duets together :biggrin: that would be pretty great! annie_monica 02-01-2007, 01:09 PM I'm just glad that in their flashbacks, no matter what they will be speaking Korean and we will still get that whole aspect of the show. |
