Depressed Hong Jin-kyung suffers 'mental breakdown' after losing luggage at the start of Camino de Santiago

Depressed Hong Jin-kyung suffers 'mental breakdown' after losing luggage at the start of Camino de Santiago Broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung, who set out on the Camino de Santiago, experienced an unexpected 'luggage loss' accident right from the start. It is a journey where she must walk about 250km over 11 days, but currently, her backpack only contains her passport, wallet, toothbrush, toothpaste, mobile phone, camera, and charger. On the 2nd, Hong Jin-kyung revealed her current status of walking the pilgrimage route on her SNS. The included message contained a conversation where an acquaintance asked, "Noona, you weren't kidnapped, right?" to which Hong Jin-kyung replied, "I think I'm ruined. My luggage didn't arrive. In Lisbon..." Despite the absurd situation, she brought laughter by saying she slept soundly at the accommodation and remarked, "I have no thoughts. Empty mind." Surprisingly, Hong Jin-kyung was quite calm. She accepted the lighter backpack positively, saying, "Thanks to that? Much lighter shoulders! It doesn't feel entirely bad." However, since almost all the items necessary for walking the pilgrimage route have disappeared, she is in a situation where she must purchase pants, T-shirts, underwear, and socks one by one locally. She also appeared bewildered herself as she belatedly realized she needs to newly acquire a sleeping bag and a raincoat as well. In this process, Hong Jin-kyung's unique clumsy charm was also revealed. She used an expression that seemed to misremember the word for the pilgrimage accommodation, 'albergue,' as a different word, and when netizens corrected her, she asked back, "Then what is it?" Comments such as "I thought you were in a state of empty mind" and "I was naturally fooled" followed, drawing laughter. It also draws attention that Hong Jin-kyung is using this trip not as a simple vacation, but as a time to reflect on herself. In recent YouTube content, she spoke with Jung Seung-je and stated that she would walk the Camino de Santiago alone, saying, "I am going to have a conversation with myself because I feel I need to change after I return." This means she intends to have time to converse with herself through this trip. Previously, Hong Jin-kyung revealed through her YouTube channel that she underwent a brain examination due to memory decline. At that time, a specialist explained that there were abnormal findings in some testing areas and that depression and memory problems were confirmed. It was explained that while the condition was not serious, some values were outside the normal range and abnormal signals were observed in circuits related to memory. Ultimately, Hong Jin-kyung's Camino de Santiago journey has become complicated from the start due to the unexpected incident of her luggage disappearing. However, while accepting the inconvenience and embarrassment as they are, she laughed it off by describing it as "lighter shoulders." Instead of leaving with everything perfectly prepared, attention is focused on what kind of story Hong Jin-kyung's pilgrimage will leave as she accepts even unexpected variables as part of the journey.
