Actor Ku Sung-hwan reached the final day of his national trek. 

On the 17th, Ku Sung-hwan drew attention by showing his challenge of a national trek from Seoul to Busan on the MBC variety program I Live Alone (abbreviated as "I Live Alone").

That day Ku Sung-hwan drew interest in the studio with an unrecognizably gaunt appearance. He explained, "I lost 12kg. I didn't lose it through dieting." 

Ku Sung-hwan said, "Since my 20s I had my own bucket list, and that was a national trek. I failed twice. I thought I'd try once more before entering my 50s; I thought if I failed this time it would be the end, so I went on one last tearful attempt," drawing supportive responses. 

Later, Ku Sung-hwan woke at 6 a.m. at a village hall and said it was the final day of the national trek. Ku Sung-hwan noted, "My whole body aches like a soldier who has fought 100 wars. The pain relief patches don't work," as he checked the weather. 

When rain was forecast all day, he worried, "If it rains my feet will get wet and it will be hard," and woke his national trek partner. The partner is a rapper named Hongga and is a family-like friend who, after actor Lee Ju-seung, has seen Kkot-bun the most.   

Ku Sung-hwan said, "After suddenly losing Kkot-bun, whom I raised for 11 years, I was emotionally devastated. Of course it was hard. She was my daughter. I wanted to break that feeling. What I chose to do was walk," and when he said he would leave, Hongga said he wanted to go with him, so they traveled together. 

Ku Sung-hwan also said he walked the national trek for 18 days with Kkot-bun's leash wrapped around his wrist. When Ku Sung-hwan said, "Whenever I thought it was hard, seeing the leash strangely gave me strength," Code Kunst, who heard this, sympathized, saying, "It's strange: a dog gives people strength to live while alive, and even after death." 

Meanwhile, earlier in February, Ku Sung-hwan announced the death of his dog Kkot-bun. At the time he said, "Even as I write this I don't want to accept it and I can't believe it. My daughter, my younger sister, my partner Kkot-bun crossed the rainbow bridge on Feb. 14," and added, "Thank you sincerely for loving and caring for Kkot-bun all this time. I will pull myself together and return in good health."<
