Episode Details

South Korea is set to ban dog meat consumption by 2027, marking a historic cultural shift as public opinion overwhelmingly rejects the practice—90% say they won’t eat it, and 95% haven’t in a year. The law, with a three-year grace period, will penalize violators with fines or jail time, affecting around 5,600 businesses.

This move signals a profound evolution in Korean society’s relationship with animals and food.
