Jin, the Next Character to Die on “Lost”
The new season of Lost is still a few months away but we now know that Jin will be the next character to die on the enigmatic show. How do we know this? Daniel Dae Kim, the actor who plays Jin, was arrested today for drunk driving in Honolulu.
As fans of the show know, Cynthia Watros (Libby), Michelle Rodriguez (Ana-Lucia) and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Eko) characters all bit the dust on the show soon after the actors ran afoul of Hawaiian law enforcement.
Will Daniel Dae Kim break the “Lost Curse” and stay on the show?
My prediction already was that Jin had a short life expectancy. This incident just pushes it over the edge.
What do you think? Will he stay or will he go?
UPDATE 3-14-08
Well, as I predicted back in October, Jin is dead, at least in the future. Wasn’t that a wild flashback/flashforward episode?
It looks like that in the future we’re seeing Jin survived the crash along with the Oceanic 6 but that he was one of the two who were said to have died after the crash.
What do you think? What’s your Lost theory?

Well, he’s “dead” to the world, but that in no way means he’s dead back on the Island…
Interesting episode though…thanks for the link Frank, and for that Mirror Moon link awhile back.
Hi Mike,
I guess that depends on where he dies exactly, on the Island, on the freighter or somewhere else we don’t know about yet.
For those of you who’re swinging by this post from Google, make sure you check out Mike’s Pop Critics blog. I only occasionally cover entertainment topics, like Lost, on this blog but Mike’s is 100% dedicated to entertainment news and views.
The thing is though, we don’t KNOW that he actually died. The Oceanic 6 are known to be the only survivors, but we know that there are plenty left on the Island still, hence Jack wanting to go back.
So Jin could still be there, but the world thinks he’s dead and Sun keeps up appearances by visiting his grave.
It’s at least a possibility
On the grave stone it says 2004, 9, 22 downwards is that the date he died? in that case wasn’t that the date the plane crashed?
Hi Ole,
Yes, September 22, 2004 at 4:16 PM Island Standard Time (whatever that may be) is the official time of the crash.
Now here’s something else to ponder. Sun didn’t get pregnant until they had been on the Island for 37 days (per Juliet’s ultrasound in the episode D.O.C.). Wouldn’t a good OB/GYN pick up on this discrepancy?
