He confessed, "After losing Kkotbuni, whom I raised for 11 years, I was heartbroken. I chose to walk to overcome that feeling."

Over 16 days, he covered 421km, enduring the journey with pain relief patches all over his body. Koo expressed his struggle, saying, "I feel like a soldier who has fought 100 battles. Even the patches don't work anymore."

Koo also shared his positive philosophy on marathons, stating, "There's no trick in marathons. When you hit a downhill, it becomes easier again."

He announced, "Today is D-Day," as he aimed to reach Busan on the 17th day.
