Lost actor Daniel Dae Kim has been arrested in Hawaii on suspicion of drink-driving.

The 38-year-old, who plays tough guy Jin-Soo Kwon in the drama, was arrested in the early hours of Thursday.

Police said the South Korean-born actor, who is an original cast member, was released on bail.

He is the fourth member of the Lost cast to be arrested for a traffic offence in Hawaii, where the popular TV series is filmed.

Charges dropped

In 2005, former co-stars Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros pleaded guilty to driving while over the legal limit.

Rodriguez, who played Ana Lucia, was sentenced to five days in jail and $357 (£174) in fines.

Watros, seen on the show as the character Libby, had her driving licence suspended for 90 days and paid a $312 (£152) fine.

And last year, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, known as Mr Eko in Lost, was arrested for a traffic offence, and was accused of disobeying a police officer and driving without a licence.

The charges against him were later dropped, however.
