HONOLULU - It’s trouble in paradise for another “Lost” star.

Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin-Soo Kwon on the hit ABC series, was arrested early Thursday on suspicion of drunken driving, reports The Honolulu Advertiser.

The actor posted bail and was released at 5:05 a.m.

Wearing a polo shirt and khaki shorts, Kim kept his head down and did not speak to reporters as he left the station and got into the passenger’s seat of an awaiting silver SUV.

Kim is not the first “Lost” star to run in to legal problems.

Cynthia Watros and Michelle Rodriguez were arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in December 2005. Both stars later pled guilty to the charges.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was arrested in September 2006 for driving without a license, however, the charges were later dropped.

Other stars of the show have also run into their fair share of problems while on the island.

Josh Holloway and his wife were robbed at gunpoint inside their home in 2005, and Evangeline Lilly’s rented home in Kailua was destroyed by fire in December 2006. Lilly and her two roommates weren’t home at the time.
