Kim Yun-jin in Sexy Spread for U.K. Arena
Kim Yun-jin, whose stock has seen a sharp upward trend ever since
she was cast on the hit series "Lost," graces the covers of two
big-name magazines from the U.K. and the U.S.
The first Korean to appear on the cover of TV Guide, one of the
U.S.'s most highly-circulated magazines, in the late August
edition, she is also featured on the cover of the September-October
edition of Golf for Women (U.S.) and the October edition of the
English mens monthly Arena. There, she not only appears on the
cover but is also featured in a sexy six-page spread on the
inside.
Appearing in a black tank-top and hot pants, Kim shows off her
copper-tone skin as she flaunts her down-home sexiness. This is a
departure from the innocent and sophisticated image of her
character in "Lost", which has now picked up a worldwide audience.
The pictures were taken in a Los Angeles studio by fashion
photographer Nino Munoz.
The article that accompanies it dwells on her onscreen character
Sun and the story of how she landed the role, as well as tales of
her everyday day life, which includes frequent travel between Korea
and the U.S.
"The shoot and interview were actually done back in May, but to be
in line with the airing of the third Season of Lost, publication
was pushed back to October," Kim's manager says. "In season three,
Sun becomes a more active character. The photo shoot concept was to
reflect this."
