After 6 months of starting, he entered the language school of UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico) and worked as a Korean-language interpreter at a copper mine affiliated with a Korean company to earn money for a ticket to Korea. He started saving and a year later he decided to visit Korea for six months. Burgos auditioned for “Non-Summit,” a talk show. The program not only changed his visa status, but also the direction of his life. In Korea, he had the opportunity to be a Spanish teacher.
