The book vividly recounts some unforgettable episodes he has had while walking, and the benefits the pastime brings him.

"Since the period when I was an unknown actor, I often walked to work, a practice I continue to this day", Ha said at a press event in Seoul on Tuesday. "It also helps keep your mind away from stress", he added.

He said he loves to wander through small alleys and along the Han River in both good times and bad times. As a promoter of walking, he walks about 30,000 steps a day, and once walked up to 100,000 steps.
