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.

On the Island[]

TWT3

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 85, 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 Island[]

In summer 2005 (presumably in July, 9 months after her conception in October 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")

A few days later, when Sun was in Los Angeles, 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 Airways Flight 316. ("The Package")

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

Flash sideways[]

In the afterlife, Sun revealed to Jin that she was pregnant as he carried her, shot and bleeding, away from a restaurant. At the hospital, having an ultrasound with Juliet caused Sun to remember, and seeing Ji Yeon on the ultrasound triggered Jin's own awakening. Together, they remembered their previous lives. ("The End")
