"Lost" star Daniel Dae Kim has issued the following statement to TMZ: "I am deeply ashamed and embarrassed by the events of Thursday morning. It saddens me to know that I jeopardized the welfare of the kind people of Hawaii, a community that I love and call my home. It is my intention to cooperate fully with the police and I am grateful to them for their sensitivity throughout this matter. To my friends, family, colleagues and fans, thank you for your kind words of support. To those I have disappointed I can only ask that you accept my heartfelt apologies. I am truly, truly sorry."

Kim was arrested early Thursday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence in Hawaii.

5. He does show a lot of class to apologize to everyone and accepts responsibility for his actions. I am impressed and he seems like a decent guy. Young Hollywood Stars in trouble should read this response and learn a lesson in humility.

7. yes #1, he's a real class act drinking & driving. His lame apology is what his publicist wrote for him. They need to fire his ass along w/ the other 2 losers that had DUI's.

15. Why can't people get it that it's not OK to drink and drive??!! I truly wish that if you're caught once doing it you lose your license permanently. No exceptions. Our laws are too lenient.
