HONOLULU - ABC’s “Lost” star Daniel Dae Kim entered an initial plea of not guilty to a drunken driving charge Friday.
Kim, 39, who plays Jin-Soo Kwon on the TV show, was arrested Oct. 25 when a Honolulu police officer spotted him driving erratically.
His driver’s license was revoked Nov. 16 for six months, said Ronald Sakata, chief adjudicator for the Administrative Driver’s License Revocation Office.
“He made an apology to the state, the people of Hawaii and his fans,” defense attorney Patrick McPherson said outside the courtroom. “He pleaded not guilty and requested a trial date.” Kim did not appear with his attorney at the arraignment.
Kim, who portrays a Korean tough guy on the mysterious island where “Lost” is set, was the fourth actor on the series to run into trouble with the law while filming in Hawaii. Other stars who were arrested had their characters killed off on the show soon afterward.
