Here's my math:
Sun had already been out of school for a couple years when her mother set her up with that guy w/whom she ultimately had an affair. She dated Jin for at least a year before telling her father. They had been married probably 2 years before the crash (using the aging of the puppy as my evidence here...). Add back the 4 years she should have aged in the real world once she returns and 1 extra year since Koreans round their age up at birth and Sun is 32. Yeah, that makes a lot more senses to me.
Yeah, 1980 makes no sense to me, so why's it on the tombstone?

In real life, Yunjin Kim (Sun) is 34 so it makes sense that her age on the tombstone would confuse us. I don't know why they would chose to make her character that much younger than she really is. Was this something they didn't think through--like maybe they didn't think anyone would notice? Or is there a reason that they've made her appear so young? It's all very odd.
