Biography: Sun-Hwa Kwon is one fo the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. She was travelling on the plane with her husband Jin-Soo Kwon. Their marriage has been very unstable, on and off the island, mainly due to Jin's controlling and violent nature and also because of Sun's many secrets that she will go to great lengths to protect even if it involves hurting others e.g the maid in 'The Glass Ballerina'. She is currently pregnant with Jin's child, and according to Juliet the pregnancy will kill her in two months like every other pregnant woman who has concieved on the island....

Romantic entanglements:
Pre-island: Resisted matrimonial setups until she met hotelier Jae, fell in love with Jin once Jae said he was in love with another.

Had an affair with Jae after marrying Jin. Sun originally asked Jae to teach her English, but they ended up having an affair. Her father found out, and sent Jin to kill the man. Jin let him live, but Jae committed suicide.

Speculation: He (Jae Lee) may have been Sun's baby's father. This turns out to be untrue as we find out when Juliet examines Sun, in the episode"D.O.C.," that she became pregnant on the island.

On the island: Tension with Jin led to a subtle flirtation with Michael, the only one who knew she spoke English.

Big secret: She secretly learned English so she could leave Jin, but changed her mind at the last minute. Her current pregnancy is a miracle she says, since Jin is sterile (although to allow Jin to save face the doctor said Sun was the one with the fertility problem). Juliet said men's sperm count is about 5 times greater on the island than normal.
