Jin's Resume
As has been indicated by Javier Grillo-Marxuach on The Fuselage, Jin's resume should not be considered canonical, notably his birthdate and employment information. This also extends to the Yahoo! e-mail address, as it is based on the non-canonical birth year. As such, I'm removing the material pertaining to the resume and e-mail.

Kwon or Kwan?
In the March 22, 2006 episode the last name as shown in the subtitles was "Kwan." -- MisterHand 19:32, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
- Up until last episode his last name in the subtitles was 'Kwon'. In '... In Translation' episode he introduces himself as 'Kwon' as well as in '... And Found', although in the same episode you can see 'Kwan' in his CV, but the hotel manager also refers to him as 'Kwon'. But as you can see above, his CV can't be used as reference. So now we have a pickle... :/ NowotnyPL 13:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Sun does not speak English
In the description of Jin-Soo Kwon we can read the following :
"Note: Two largely ignored facets of Jin's personal history involves the mandatory military service (conscription) required of all native born South Korean males from the age of 19 for a minimum period of 24 months, and the fact that a Korean man of his age would have had six years of training in English in school, and more if he attended a university. However, the latter may be explained by his poor roots; perhaps he did not attend school or the school systems in his area were unable to fit government standards."
I will keep the "...a Korean man of his age would have had six years of training in English in school, and more if he attended a university..."
Also, we learn in episode "s02x16 - The Whole Truth" - Episodes of Lost (season 2) that Sun learned to speak English from her old friend/boyfriend.
Does this mean that a Korean woman would not have at least six years of training in English? We know that she (Sun Kwon) has a BA in Arts History, something which means that she should have known English prior to the English lessons she had with her old friend/boyfriend. Is this a wrong in the scenario?
Any thoughts about this?
