As broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung took on the challenge of the Santiago pilgrimage, she ran into an unexpected obstacle before even setting out.
On the 30th, a video titled "An Unbelievable Life Experience That Happened on Hong Jin-kyung's Pilgrimage in Search of Happiness" was released on the YouTube channel 'Study King Real Genius Hong Jin-kyung.'
In the released video, Hong Jin-kyung headed to Porto, Portugal, to walk the Santiago pilgrimage route.
Upon arriving at a hotel in Porto, Hong Jin-kyung stated, "According to my original plan for today, I was supposed to check out, go to Porto Cathedral to get my pilgrim's passport issued, and then set off, but a problem arose."
She explained further, "They say my luggage did not arrive at the transit point in Lisbon. All the necessary items, such as socks and clothes for changing, are inside it."
Initially, Hong Jin-kyung had been informed that her baggage would arrive at Porto airport that evening, so she extended her stay at the accommodation by one day.
She expressed her frustration, saying, "Thanks to this, I have some extra time, but it is a journey where I have to walk 244 km over ten days. I had planned to walk 25 km each day, but my plans have been thrown off."
However, she still could not find her luggage the next day. Hong Jin-kyung revealed, "I thought I would be able to find my luggage if I went to the airport yesterday, but it did not come from Lisbon. I received an answer saying they do not know where it is now." She added, "It is truly absurd," failing to hide her bewilderment.
Ultimately, Hong Jin-kyung decided to begin her scheduled journey without finding her baggage. She stated, "I am going to start from Porto for now. I bought one pair of pants, one shirt, and one set of underwear and set off on the road. Now it begins."
