Theories

Kwon Ji Yeon (Hangul: 권지연, Hanja: 權智蓮) is the daughter of Jin and Sun Kwon and was conceived on the Island after the crash of Oceanic Flight 815.

In the flash sideways, Sun was pregnant with Ji Yeon.

On the IslandEdit

The positive result of the pregnancy test ("The Whole Truth")

Sun found out she was pregnant using a Widmore Corporation pregnancy test and was shocked, as Jin was sterile before the crash. Jin stated that it was a miracle, but Sun was concerned that the pregnancy was the result of her affair with Jae Lee prior to their time on the Island. ("The Whole Truth")

On day 87, Juliet took Sun to the Staff and showed her an ultrasound of Ji Yeon, telling her that the baby was conceived on the Island, meaning that the baby was Jin's. ("D.O.C.")

After the IslandEdit

Ji-Yeon after her birth. ("Ji Yeon")

In summer 2005 (presumably in July, 9 months after her conception in November 2004), Sun gave birth to Ji Yeon in Choogdong Hospital in South Korea. Shortly thereafter, Sun and Hurley took Ji Yeon to visit her father's grave. According to Hurley, Ji Yeon looked just like Jin. ("Ji Yeon")

Three years after the rescue of the Oceanic Six, Sun was in London to confront Charles Widmore. Just prior, Sun spoke on the phone with her mother, who was taking care of Ji Yeon. Sun smiled as Ji Yeon said "Mama. Mama." ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 2")

Ji-Yeon talks to her mother with Mrs. Paik ("This Place Is Death")

Later, while Sun was on the same trip, Ji Yeon again spoke to Sun on the telephone. She exclaimed that she missed her mother and wanted her to come back. She was still in her grandmother's care at that time. ("This Place Is Death")

Jin first saw pictures of Ji Yeon when Charles Widmore showed him pictures of her that were on a digital camera that Sun had brought on Ajira Air Flight 316. ("The Package")

The later deaths of both Jin and Sun aboard the submarine render Ji Yeon an orphan. ("The Candidate")

Flash sidewaysEdit

In the afterlife, seeing Ji Yeon on the ultra-sound triggered Sun and Jin's awakenings as they remembered their previous lives. ("The End")

TriviaEdit

• Out of all the main characters, she has only met Sun and Hurley.
• Ji Yeon means "flower of wisdom." ("Ji Yeon-Enhanced")
• Ji Yeon is an orphan, surviving both her parents.
• Ji Yeon is one of eight characters to have their name appear in the title of an episode, the others being Sun, Hurley, Locke, Kate, Dave, Tricia Tanaka, and Sawyer (as LaFleur). ("Ji Yeon")
• Yunjin Kim played a character named Ji Yeon Yu in the Korean thriller Seven Days.
• The titles of three episodes refer to Ji Yeon, but indirectly: "The Whole Truth", which refers to Sun's pregnancy, "D.O.C.", which refers to the date of Ji Yeon's conception, and, of course, "Ji Yeon".
• The actress who plays Ji Yeon, Jaymie Kim, has the surname Kim, the same surname as the actors who play her parents, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, and Sophie Kim, who plays a young Sun in "The Glass Ballerina".
