Celebrity Justice
"Lost" DUI Curse -- Daniel Dae Kim Busted!

TMZ has learned Daniel Dae Kim, who stars as Jin-Soo Kwon on "Lost," was popped by Honolulu PD early Thursday morning on suspicion of drunken driving. Jin and juice!

The Honolulu Advertiser reports Kim was arrested around 3:00 AM, wearing a polo shirt and khaki shorts. Gary Collins, is that you?! Kim was released about two hours later, seen in video from KHON2TV trying to hide his face as he left. Details of the arrest were not immediately available.


Kim is the fourth member of the cast of "Lost" to be arrested. Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were arrested for DUI in December 2005, when police spotted their vehicles weaving along a local road. Both pleaded guilty, and were lost from the show soon after. In September of 2006, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was arrested and accused of disobeying a police officer and driving without a license. Those charges were later dropped -- and then he was dropped from the show as his character was killed off by a crazy smoke monster.

Story developing ...

61. Are you kidding me? If this is breaking news, TMZ needs to get a life. Just because they are on a tv show doesn't make them super human. They are simply human beings getting caught doing the same things as other folks, but because they have appeared on a show, they are targets for everything. If my neighbor gets picked up for DUI, it isn't breaking news. Enough already.

63. Everybody who's on LOST is an ALCOHOLIC! The show is so confusing, the cast drinks themselves to oblivion. Rumor has it that Evangeline Lilly is a pot head. She will soon be on TMZ!!!

73. BIG DRINKING PROBLEMS on that set! I don't think I've ever heard of so many drunks on one show!

74. One day all the people at TMZ and all the so-called papparazzi (aka sleaze bags with cameras) will actually get REAL jobs, and will not be able to devote so much of their time digging up these silly, made-up stories about "celebrities" (aka ANYONE who has ever done ANYTHING in public or just on You-Tube).
GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! That's what Daniel Dae Kim was trying to do before the cops stopped him in Hawaii.
FYI - there really isn't much else to do in Hawaii except look at the scenery and drink - everything else is way too expensive.
