Jin-Soo Kwon

Jin-Soo Kwon (Revised Romanization of Korean (RR): Gwon Jin-su, McCune-Reischauer (MR): Kwo(n Chin-su) is one of the middle section survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. Jin was born into a poor upbringing with his fisherman father which he has always been ashamed of. After meeting and in order to marry Sun, the love of his life, he was forced into working into his father-in-law's mafia-type business in which he takes part in horrid tasks. This has made him almost scared of what he is capable of. Due to this, he was over-controlling of Sun in their late-marriage stage. Jin is the only survivor to not speak the native language within the group - English. This has caused a constant language barrier but after Sun revealed she spoke English to the group, this helped him overcome this struggle and has managed to pick up disconnected words and phrases.

Default Brazilian Portuguese it is

They were speaking Brazilian Portuguese. I'm a Brazilian, by the way.
They had a very strange accent and made a few errors though. It seemed like one of two things:

- They never spoke brazilian portuguese in their lifes and if so, they managed to speak quite well for a non native with little training. Is very easy to spot the errors and the sounds they had most difficulty with, but non the less, a good effort.

- They spoke brazilian portuguese a VERY long time ago and had not spoken for a LONG time. I mean, like they were born in Brazil and had been living in the USA for the most part of their lives, thus ending up with a thick accent.

The first option seems the more plausible one.

On a side note, Brazil has a Research Station in the Antartic continent, but the scene shows them by themselves, on a private mission it seemed.

According to the closed captioning, it was Portuguese... I'm guessing the guys were Brazilian as well.

I thought they were Russian because they were play chess (see, that's what I get for stereotyping. )

Welcome JPG and I think you hit the mark when you said this:

I thought it was russian, too, because it really sounded like it to me. There are a lot of portuguese people in my country, so I know what that sounds like...But I guess I was wrong...^^ (But they really do have a strong accent, don't they?)
