While specific details of the arrest have not been made public, authorities said Kim was arrested around 3AM and was booked at the Honolulu police station.

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

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.

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. Neither Lilly, nor either of her two roommates were home at the time.

    Is a DUI a pre-requisite for being a celebrity?

    There're many wealthy people looking around on sites like richsoulmate.com. I am going to appeal them for help. They may donate more money to charities.

    Regarding the "DUI's and Hollywood" statement, this just shows Hollywood celebs are normal people just like everyone else. Someone, somewhere, every minute of the day is guilty of DUI.

    Maybe it's a way to get their names in print. Seems to be a Hollywood thing to do. Just before the new season starts too for Lost.
