How was the Korean war an extension of the ideological conflict of the cold war?

1. It wasn't an extension.
2. The cold war wasn't a war. It was a tense arm's race in which each side "eyed" each other (didn't trust each other) and was waiting for the other to make a bad move (go for his gun-go for that nuclear button). Then the shooting would start (atomic war)...but it never did.
3. The Korean War was "a gunfight" during that "tense arm's race." A limited war in which no one dared to use a nuke and begin WWIII. Or MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction).
Really simply put: The Korean War was a hot battle of the cold war. So was Vietnam. Except they won that particular hot battle.
