Yunjin Kim is not married to Daniel Dae Kim.
Like many of the posters above, I think that much of this confusion comes from the fact that they share the same last name "Kim".
In Korea, and many other East Asian countries too, not many ethnicities are mixed together in society like the US. Rather, Asians keep to themselves. I'm not trying to say that Asians are racist, but it is a part, an element of Asian culture. Since Asians (Koreans in this case) keep to themselves and marry within the same nationality, this leads to several people having the same last name (like Kim, Lee, Park, etc.), even though they are not directly related. (That is why several Asians seem to have the same last name.) In the US, since several different cultures mix together, this leads to a wide differention of surnames.
To sum it up, several Asians have the same last name, even though they are not directly related or married, just as in the case of Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim. Hope this clears up the original poster's questions! ; ) -

Why can't people just read the biography..just laziness.
Although she shares the name of Kim with her "Lost" (2004) co-star and on-screen husband, Daniel Dae Kim, they are neither related nor married.
When Kim Bauer lost her virginity, Jack Bauer found it and put it back. -

No, she's not married to him. There are less than 300 surnames in Korea, so that's why so many Koreans share the same surnames. In case you were wondering, "Kim" is the most common surname in Korea, followed by "Lee" and "Park".

i think kmah-1 was just trying to point out that just because you have the same last name does not necessarily mean you're married/related in any way.
it's just like when my ignorant guidance counselor asked me if i was related to anyone in school because there are so many kims. -

Is Diane Keaton Married to Michael Keaton?
-No, but Michael Keaton took the name Keaton because his real name (Michael Douglas) is already the name of an established actor.
Is John Cusack married to Joan Cusack?
-As stated earl5b4ier, brother and sister. -

Speaking of Michael Keaton and Diane Keaton, did you know that is not their real last names? Michael's last name is really Douglas but he changed it to avoid confusion with the well-known actor of the same name. Diane's last name is actually Hall but since it is a fairly common name, chances are there are other Diane Halls registered with the Screen Actor's Guild so she started using her mother's last name.
