Lost Curse Strikes Again! Kim Dinged for DUI Gina Serpe
Thu Oct 25, 8:21 AM ET

Los Angeles (E! Online) - It seems there really may be something in the water over on the Lost set: Alcohol.

Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin-Soo Kwon on the ABC hit, has become the third castmember to get busted on suspicion of driving under the influence, after being arrested in Honolulu just after 3 a.m. Thursday morning.

Honolulu police confirmed to E! News that the 39-year-old was booked at the downtown station and was released at 5:05 a.m. after posting an unspecified bail.

Details on the bust have so far been as well-guarded as a Lost script, with neither police nor Kim offering details of the alleged DUI, including where it took place, whether any field sobriety tests were conducted and whether Kim was cooperative during the encounter.

Police say the arrest has yet to be logged into the the computer system. No mug shot has been released.

The actor was spotted by reporters wearing a polo shirt, khaki shorts and longer than normal hair when he left the station. He kept his head down and stayed mum, escorted out of the building by two officers into the passenger's side of a waiting SUV.

Kim's early morning bust is the third such indiscretion for the Lost cast and one of several other driving-related mishaps. And if history is any indication of how the show's rap-sheeted actors are dealt with, Jin may want to watch his back come season four.

In December 2005, the Hawaii Five-O snagged a twofer, busting then Losties Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros on separate DUIs on the same highway within 15 minutes of each other. Both pleaded guilty to charges of driving under the influence, with Rodriguez even serving a brief jail stint for the offense. Both actresses met their demise by season's end.

Less than a year later, in September 2006, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was arrested on charges of driving without a license and disobeying an officer. The former charge was eventually dismissed. But soon after, his character, Mr. Eko, found himself on the losing end of a battle with the show's smoke monster.

Not all Lost cast troubles have to do with transgressions, however. In 2005, Josh Holloway and his wife were robbed at gunpoint in their Honolulu home. Last December, Evangeline Lilly's rented Kailua abode was destroyed in an electrical fire. They both remain on the show.
