"Lost" Star: "I Am Deeply Ashamed and Embarrassed"

Posted Oct 26th 2007 5:25PM by TMZ Staff

"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.

3. I believe him. His culture is one were they praise dignity and honor. Everybody make mistakes, I bet he will not do it again.

7. 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.

10. 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.

14. Excellent statement. Everyone falls, not everyone gets caught but when you do, behaving with grace while ashamed is much to your credit.

15. Britney Spears is a freak that stops at nothing to get in the news.
Pathetic.
Why do you people keep giving her the attention???
