First Answer
Because it's culture; each place has it's own, and Koreans just happen to eat dog.
ALSO: not all Koreans eat dog. just some people do
and other parts of the country do too. and why not eat dogs when you eat cows.?
- My opinion (Improved Answer) -
I'm Korean and live in Seoul.
Some Korean eating dog is true but some Koreans hate to eat dog is also true.
This isn't tradition or culture from long time ago.
Korean start to eat dogs cuz they were really poor after war.
And they DO NOT eat dog that they were used to raise in their house.
All over the world, people eat things that people in a different culture would consider bizarre. Believe me most people around the world would rather eat dog meat, than eat pork.
Even though I've never eaten it, I can't judge any person who enjoys eating dog, cat, rat, lion, tiger, elephant, rabbit, monkey, cricket, pigeon, whale, seal, kangaroo, crocodile, lizard meat or meat offal products from them.
Being I have never tried them, maybe if I never knew mentally what meat it was in a meal I was eating. It wouldn't bother me and would probably enjoy it too.
If you really truly knew what meat and meat offal they use in hotdogs and sausages. Also which animal the intestinal skin they stuff the hotdog and sausage meat into comes from.
Like I do, you wouldn't ever eat a hotdog again, yet millions of Americans love them. Just like many Koreans like eating dog meat.
What are you going to say if someone swearing all Americans because they rear cow in their house and love it??

North Korea. The North Koreans attacked first and the Americans helped the South Koreans. Once the North Korean Army was surrounded, the Capitalists invaded NK. China thought the Americans were imperialists like Japan in WW2, and so helped the North Koreans.
