What are you trying to book? CAN-x/HKG-ICN-x/HKG-CAN or PFT-x/HKG-ICN-x/HKG-PFT? I don't think the latter is bookable yet as a through ticket (happy to be proven wrong), although you can buy HKG-ICN-HKG and the ferry tickets separately from Chu Kong. Booking CAN-x/HKG-ICN-x/HKG seems a lot more expensive
I do not recommend throwing away HKG-CAN, as CX may not let you short-check the bag to HKG on your way back (agent discretion). If you have to, make sure to have an overnight transit and claim you are staying at a hotel in HKG. Even then, if you try to go to Chu Kong's counter for the HKG-PFT ferry, I don't know if they will find out that you had a ticket to CAN. I don't think so, but I am not 100% sure.
If you book PFT-x/HKG-ICN-x/HKG-PFT, I don't think they will let you short-check the bag to HKG. You cannot check-in for HKG-PFT landside, so it becomes clear you are throwing away HKG-PFT.
PS: PFT is Pazhou Port.
