There were 3 dates on Jin's headstone.
on the left was
1980-3-20

and on the right were
birth? 1974-11-27
death? 2004-9-22

So what was the meaning to the mysterious 1980 date, when Jin was,
what, SIX yrs old?
There can't be anything significant of note in his humble family's
background to denote Mar 20, '80.
Anyone care to translate the headstone to clarify?

And while we're at it, most names in Korean have great meaning.
So what does Ji Yeon translate to and what importance does it have to
Jin?

Wikipedia's been having an edit war over the inclusion of a
translation meaning "Heavenly Patience".

OK - so this is Sun's birthdate. The important thing is that this is a clue!
This means that when Jin was buried, Sun was known to be alive. Hmm...

Unless of course his death was confirmed on Suns return to the world.

If Jin and Sun are the final two of the Oceanic Six....how did Jin get
off the island alive and then apparently die 3 months earlier?

The death date is the date of the "crash".

Jin is not one of the Oceanic 6.

In spite of spoilers indicating that he is. It looks like it is Aaron,
not Jin, who completes the Oceanic 6.

Jin and Sun are not the final two. Sun is the final O6.

Jack, Kate, Aaron, Hurly, Sayid and Sun.

Six.

Jin is still on the island.
