SEOUL, South Korea — "Lost" star Yunjin Kim will go from the island to the courtroom when she plays a high-powered lawyer in an upcoming South Korean crime thriller, a newspaper reported yesterday.

Kim, 33, will start shooting "Seven Days" in late April after completing the third season of "Lost," said the Herald Business newspaper. It will be Kim's first South Korean film since "Diary Of June" in 2005.

The new movie tells the story of a lawyer focused only on winning her cases regardless of the truth. Trouble begins when her daughter is kidnapped and will be killed unless she frees a criminal from death row within seven days.

"Lost" has made Kim an international star, playing a Korean marooned with her husband and other plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island. The ABC drama is filmed in Hawai'i.
