If that sweet fisherman is not Jin's biological father, then who might be? Jin might have bigger "daddy issues" than we originally thought!

His father is Christian Sheppard, of course!

Right, who is also Jacob! :)
Oh wait, Jack's Jacob.

Anyway . . . :confused:

Well you know what they say, all the best cowboys have daddy issues. And this island is sure full of cowboys.....

Jin's got mother issues as well as father issues...poor man.

I really hope it's not Mr. Paix (Sun's dad)! EWWWWWWWW. Sounds like Christian Shepard got around, I'll go with him. Jack could have all kinds of family on the island!

Yea, I thought about this too. This would make it a good idea for the two of them not to have children though.

LMAO:24:

There are a couple of possibilities...

1. Jin is Paik's kid - meaning Jin and Sun are siblings. Jin's mom WAS a prostitute so it is possible she slept with a wealthy client - PAIK.

2. We simply don't know and never will. Jin's dad was "just a customer".

How about Anthony Cooper? Locke could use a brother.

My guess: it's Jae Lee's dad. Jae and Jin are half-brothers. THERE would be a twist! It'd make Jack and Claire a :yawn: by comparison!

The man said that the could be the father, right? I'm going to stick with that because I like him. :biggrin:

For all practical purposes, the man who raised Jin IS his daddy. Good job you did there, Dad!

Biologically, though, the LOST honchos have just introduced a new question! :wallbash:

Could it be someone related to Jack's tattoo artist woman? maybe?

His father is Christian Sheppard, of course!

My first thought when I saw this thread. :sick:

That's a good idea! I'm hoping that Mr. Kwon is Jin biological father but, if not, I like the idea of Jae's dad being his dad the best. We'll probably never know though.

In that culture, the kind of woman who would sleep with a wealthy client and the kind who would sleep with a fisherman are two different types of women entirely, even if their profession is similar.

2. We simply don't know and never will. Jin's dad was "just a customer".

I'm inclined to agree with this, unless the writers decide to spring more upon us about this later.

Um, no I'm not, but thanks for the pointless personal attack. I know that there are differences between Asians, but people are throwing around Jack's dad as an option, so maybe someone of another race isn't out of the question, espcially if they are on the same continent.

you guys(and gals) are forgetting the possibility of kate's (real not step ) father and the guy in the hatch before desmond: calvin.as they were both military men and could of possibily had the oppurtunity to sleep with a woman such as jin's mom.discuss:)-belwether

See the part of your post I removed? We do not allow personal attacks against other posters! You might want to read the FAQ/site rules ASAP to make sure you know and fully understand our rules...

The most obvious possibility is that it's Sgt. Austen. He was stationed in Korea just around the right time to father Jin.

And that would make Jin be the half-step-brother of Kate, which is cool.

Great memory ya got there!!! :biggrin: I couldn't remember where he had been stationed besides Iraq.

Marvin Candle is his father. nah.

Or maybe...just this once a character on LOST didn't have to be connected to all the other characters, and that Jin's dad is his biological dad. I didn't mind the Claire-Jack thing but if they pull that crap again LOST would get too soap opera-ish.

Jin doesn't look at all Amerasian. I say his dad is his dad.

How about Jin is Paik's son. thats why we let a waiter marry his 'daughter'. Sun is not Paik's. Sam Austen sounds interesting.

maybe marvin candle really is jin's father. it seems that jin's mother slept with jin's fisherman (dad) during war time maybe. (remember the pics in this house?) well, maybe she slept with marvin candle who may have lost his arm in the war? just a thought, this show certainly keeps your mind going until it hurts, lol.

Oh I really hope Mr Paik is NOT Jin's father. Sun and Jin being half brother and sister takes this story to an unredeamable place. Please don't let it be so!

Yeah, I think Jin's father is the dude in the orientation films.

I don't think even his mother would know if she was a prostitute. She might not even remember all the men she slept with. Probably don't even know all their names unless she was a high price call girl but I highly doubt that.

I'm leaning toward Jin and Sun being siblings, in one way or another. From what I can recall, neither of them have a "mother". Not sure why I think that's important, but I thought I'd put it out there. Gender similiarities apart, Jin looks more like Sun's father than she does, and Sun looks more like Jin's mother than he does. Again... not trying to imply anything... just an observation I made. It makes my brain hurt and don't know what to do with the though.

Let your brains run wild! :rolleyes:

The first thing I thought was that Hanso is his father. That would make for a nice twist. But I am also cheering for the fisherman as his father.

Maybe Marvin Candle is Jin's father and he arranged to have Jin "find" the island to cure him????

I think the thought of Marvin Candle frequenting houses of ill repute is entirely plausable. I figure he would take the submarine to korea for some downtime between projects. He would then make Jin's mom watch an orientation video while he prepared himself for the main event. Unfortunately, he forgot to wrap his Dharma Rocket®.

I have it on excelent authority. Jin's real father is...
Anakin Skywalker

Maybe that's the reason why Sun and her baby are gonna survive...

I tend to disagree with this idea. I really think there will be a reason for all of the relationships between the survivors of 815 (assuming they are survivors of 815, of course:biggrin: ). If part of the overall story is that there are connections, then it would make less sense for Jin's dad not to be connected somehow.

The connections are such a big part of the mystery (cripes, they even made a puzzle out of it :biggrin: ), there has to be something going on that brought these interconnected people together. Therefore, having it be someone we are familiar with would be not only probable, but actually the EASIEST to accept.

Theres only one person who can logically be Jin's father: Darth Vader.

I was strongly reminded of Locke's mother and her "immaculate conception" story throughout this episode. Did we ever find out for 100% certain that Cooper is definately Locke's biological father? Just wondering...

LOL... Brilliant! :biggrin:

Yeah, except Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) is half Korean half American... so there goes your theory

What is the story with Sun's mom? Has this ever been addressed?

She only appeared in '...and found'. She set up the date between Sun and Jae Lee and tried to get them together.

If that sweet fisherman is not Jin's biological father, then who might be?

the 1997 Denver Broncos ( a nod to Southpark fans)

I remember her now. Thanks!

I'm glad I found this thread, because I was getting ready to ask why Jin was the only cowboy with a decent father. I guess I was so excited I missed the part where he might not even be Jin's biological father.

I don't think it's Paik. In the highly inlikely event the Mr. Paik would opt for a low class prostitute, Jin's mother would have attempted to use her pregnany for blackmail long ago. Jae Lee's fahter might also fall into this category too.

Candle and Sgt. Austen seem like interesting possibilities to me. If it's Christian Shepherd, I'll laugh, then be disappointed.

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait, how do we know that sgt. austen was in korea around the time jin was conceived? the only reference to sgt. austen being abroad that i can remember (besides when he encountered sayid in iraq), was when kate was born. i can't remember where she said he was stationed during that time, which let her know that he could not be her real father, but even if it was korea, kate is quite a bit younger than jin and they would not have been conceived during the same time. according to my best guess, kate is around 27 and i'm assuming that both sun and jin are in the their mid-30's. is there some other information about sgt. austen's military career that i am forgetting?

Marvin Candel is Jin's father.

My guess: it's Jae Lee's dad. Jae and Jin are half-brothers. THERE would be a twist! It'd make Jack and Claire a :yawn: by comparison!


This one makes a lot of sense.

Um, Jin's father is the fisherman. Because he's cool.

Yeah, except Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) is half Korean half American... so there goes your theory

Not sure where you got that from, but it's not true! Both of his parents are Korean, he was born in Pusan in South Korea and the whole family moved to the US when he was only two years old...

Candle as Jin's real father.....wow.

Apparently he/she isn't familiar with the term Amerasian.
Even as an Asian, DDK looks distinctly Korean.
