When did you start playing golf?
I moved to Hawaii in 2004 when I got the role in Lost, because we film the show here. Its the perfect place to take up the game. Ive always been fascinated with golf. Its so popular in Korea and there are many amazing Korean and Korean-American players. They make it look so easy. Of course, we all know thats not the case.

Who's your favorite player on the LPGA Tour?

Id have to say Se Ri Pak. She won 22 tournaments between 1998 and 2004, then she went down for two years, but she came back. To me, thats a real winner--someone who learns how to climb back up. This game is so mental. Se Ri is like an actress who was hot in her 20s, then she comes back in her 40s, is even hotter, and she wins the Academy Award. When Se Ri won the McDonalds LPGA Championship in June, I kept logging onto the Internet to track her.
