He ordered Jin to "deliver a message" to Jae (i.e., kill him).

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

He met Sun on a family-arranged date, but told her he wasn't interested because of his previous love, which apparently failed. He attended Harvard and studied Medieval Russian Literature, where he met and fell in love with an American woman. Jae-Young Lee (이재영) was the wealthy son of the owner of the Seoul Gateway Hotel, and most likely would have gone on to manage and own the hotel himself someday had he not taken his own life. Jae Lee is the author of Hellshock (3.73 avg rating, 91 ratings, 8 reviews, published 2007), The Dark Tower (4.25 avg rating, 12 ratings, 1 review), Hell.
