Shannon was once married? - Page 2

it depends how long theyve been separated, i think its two years before just one person can file for divorce, however she wasnt married to him under her real name, so technically, shes not married to him. i dont know how that works under law but i would presume that once he found out she wasnt who she claimed the marrage would be void because hes married to a made up person...

she could only have been reciently divorced, you can get married at 18 without your parents permission, and it was probably a short marriage. it could be Jae Lee did he ever say why it did not work out with his american woman??

Jae said he was in love and planning to marry an american girl.. He didn't say that they were married.. then with his sucide I'm guessing he never married her!

well no cos that was all over with the american girl before his suiside, hed gone back to korea when it broke down, which is when he started teaching sun english

From Lostpedia Jae Lee - Lostpedia

Jae Lee was the wealthy son of the owner of the Seoul Gateway Hotel and the hotel's General Manager.

He attended Harvard and studied Medieval Russian Literature, where he met and fell in love with an American woman. He met Sun on a family arranged date, but told her he wasn't interested because of his previous love, which apparently failed. ("...And Found")

He taught Sun English (at her request), and ended up having an affair with her. He gave her a strand of pearls and asked her to leave for America with him. ("The Whole Truth")

Mr. Paik found out about the affair, but instead of telling Jin about it, lied to Jin and told him Jae was stealing from him, addressing this in terms of "honor." He ordered Jin to "deliver a message" to Jae (i.e. kill him). Jin found him and assaulted him, but couldn't bring himself to kill Jae, so he told him to leave the country and never return. ("The Glass Ballerina")

Jae Lee ended up committing suicide, (confirmed by Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof in the Oct. 30, 2006 Official LOST Podcast) falling from many stories high, landing on Jin's car with the string of pearls he attempted to give Sun clutched in his hand.

Trivia
Jae Lee is the name of a Korean-American comic book artist who has illustrated titles such as Inhumans, Namor the Sub-Mariner, Hellshock and Stephen King's the Dark Tower.

Unanswered Questions
Who is his American woman?
Why did he commit suicide when before he seemed confident and almost cocky about his relationship with Sun and the definite consequences of them running off together (were they to do so)--especially when he already knew that Mr. Paik knew about it and disapproved?

From Lostpedia Jae Lee's American woman - Lostpedia

The woman that Jae Lee met and fell in love with while he was studying at Harvard. He confided in Sun after a few dates that he was just going on the dates to appease his parents, but secretly planning on marrying this woman in 6 months. After he started teaching Sun English, however, he developed a romantic interest in her instead.

yeah, and marriage laws are different from state to state too. Many states have common law marriage. Common law marriage has to due with a man and woman doing things as if they were married. Like sharing a bank account, living together, cosigning on loans, even small things like introducing herself as Ms. Kevin Whoever. Basically if a man and woman give the appearance of being husband and wife for a given amount of time (depending on the local laws for common law marriage) they would be considered legally married in a court of law. So I would say that even though she used a false name in the eyes of the law they would be married, even if the ceremonal marriage was considered void. So legally they would still have to get a divorced to break the marriage.
Of course due to the circumstances Kevin probably has a strong legal precedence to handle the divorce without her consent.

oh rite thanks, whats still not clear however is if he actually went to america for this girl or not cos theres no indication of time between when he 1st met sun and when he started teaching her english....however he started teaching her english after her marrage to jin had taken a downfall, and the last time we know she saw him before that was on the dates about the same time she met jin, i would think that this period was longer than 6 months giving him time to go over and be married to an american girl for a short while

hmmmm i always assumed Shannon married someone while she was staying in Paris.
