Standing on the rainy shores of Gwangalli Beach, actor Ku Sung-hwan finally let go of a sorrow he had carried for months. On April 24, MBC’s “I Live Alone” featured the conclusion of his 446-kilometer trek from Seoul to Busan, a 17-day journey dedicated to his late dog, Kkotbuni.
The grueling trek tested both body and mind. Despite severe leg pain and persistent rain, Ku pressed on, clutching onto Kkotbuni’s leash as a symbol of companionship. Each step reflected a decade of shared memories, turning the physical struggle into a path toward healing.
At the journey’s end, Ku watched a video of his beloved pet for the first time since her passing. Overcome with emotion, he shed tears of grief and relief.
“I feel lighter now that I’ve kept my word,” Ku shared in a post-trek interview, noting that he can finally say Kkotbuni’s name naturally again.
The story resonated with viewers nationwide. For Ku, the 446 kilometers were more than distance; they marked a passage from loss toward acceptance.
