- One of the most prominent Asian American television actors, Daniel Dae Kim immigrated to the United States from South Korea as a young child. He earned a theater degree from Haverford College, which led him to pursue a career as a stage actor in New York City before returning to school. He graduated with an MFA from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in 1989. He then branched into film and television work, gaining notoriety for his role as Jin Kwon on the cult hit show Lost (2004–10). At the outset of the show, Kim’s character only spoke Korean. Over the course of several seasons, however, the character began to learn English, requiring Kim to act in both his native and adopted languages, which, he says, greatly improved his Korean. Currently he can be seen on the CBS drama Hawaii 5-0.
- Here, Kim poses as photographer CYJO frequently represents her subjects, facing the viewer with a direct, unadorned stare.

- Nacido en Pusan, Corea del Sur
- Daniel Dae Kim, uno de los más prominentes actores de televisión asiático-americanos, emigró de Corea del Sur a Estados Unidos cuando era niño. Obtuvo un grado en teatro de Haverford College y por un tiempo cultivó una carrera teatral en Nueva York antes de volver a estudiar. En 1989 completó una maestría en bellas artes en la Escuela Tisch de Arte, New York University, y se dedicó a expandir su ámbito de actuación hacia el cine y la televisión, logrando notoriedad por su papel de Jin Kwon en la icónica serie televisiva Lost (2004–10). Al principio de la serie, el personaje de Kim hablaba solo coreano. A lo largo de varias temporadas, el personaje iba aprendiendo inglés, de modo que Kim tuvo que actuar en su lengua materna y su lengua adoptada, lo cual admite que mejoró mucho su dominio del coreano. Al presente actúa en la serie de CBS Hawaii 5-0.
- La pose de Kim es una de las preferidas de la fotógrafa CYJO para sus modelos: de frente al público con una mirada directa, escueta.
