Daniel Dae Kim (born August 4, 1968 in Busan, South Korea) is a Korean American actor. He is best known for playing Jin-Soo Kwon on the television series Lost.

Kim or DDK (as most of his fans call him) was born in South Korea but grew up in Easton, Pennsylvania, in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. Kim is a graduate of Freedom High School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Haverford College in Haverford Township, Pennsylvania, where he graduated with a dual major in political science and theatre. His theatre major was completed at the neighboring Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.

Prior to his casting as Jin in Lost, he was probably best known for numerous recurring roles in the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Although his character in Lost speaks mainly in Korean and has almost no ability to speak English, English is actually Daniel's primary language and he is not fluent in Korean. He has been seen in Angel, 24, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: Enterprise, Crusade, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, The Shield and other shows. He also made guest appearances on Seinfeld, NYPD Blue, and ER. He also had a small part in Spider-Man 2 as a scientist working in Doctor Octavius' laboratory.

Kim was named one of People Magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" in 2005.

Kim is the voice of the character Johnny Gat in the Xbox 360 game Saints Row. He also provided his voice to 24 the game in which he played his character from the show, Tom Baker.
