Q4. Do you really eat dog meat in South Korea ?

A4.

I don't understand why people from abroad know something negative about South Korea.
In fact, those things are not negative at all for us.
The most common questions about South Korea to me are two below,

1. What do you think about North Korea ?
2. Do you really eat dog meat ?

People always ask me. There is no exception.
I'm really tired of answering this questions. It happens almost everyday.
One of my Russian friends Alex knows I don't like these questions, and he has a small dog.
But he wanted to make fun of me, and he asked me.
"Do you really eat dog meat ?"

And I also made fun of him too.
I said "Don't worry, your dog is so small. it's not enough for a meal.
I have my eye on your neighbor's big dog."

To be honest, I don't like dog meat, and I had never met anyone in South Korea who enjoy dog meat.
I want to say that do not try to trust so much what TV is saying to you.
I don't want to argue with you about these topics anymore.
I understand you always have silly questions.
I'm Korean, I love dogs. I don't eat them. Trust me, Please!
But I know somebody will ask me again over and over, unless I won't stop traveling.
By the way, what I have to eat tonight for the dinner? hmm...






Q4. 너네 정말 개고기 먹니?

A4.

외국애들은 어떻게 된  게 한국에 대해 죄다 부정적인 것들만 아는지.
나한테 제일 많이 물어 보는 게

1. 북한에 대해 어떻게 생각하나?
2. 개고는 진짜 먹나?

이 두 질문은 거의 예외없이 꼭 듣게 된다.
이제는 정말 지겹다 지겨워 이 질문에 대답해 주기도.
러시아인 친구 알렉스에게도 개가 있고, 알렉스는 내가 그 질문을 지겨워 하는 줄 잘 알면서도
모르는 척 하며 장난으로 "너네 진짜 개고기 먹냐?" 하고 또 물어 보았다.
그래서 나도 장난으로, "야! 너 개는 너무 작아서 한 끼 식사로도 안 되잖아!
내가 니네 옆집에 큰 개 먹으려고 이미 점찍어놨어!"라고 되받아쳐 주었다는.
참고로 나는 개고기 좋아하지도 않고, 내 주위에 개고기 먹는 사람도 거의 보지 못했다는.
제발 그만 좀 물어보면 안 되겠니? 아님 나도 다음부터는 "응, 우리 먹어!"하고 말아야 겠다 그냥.
그나 저나 오늘 저녁에는 뭘 먹는담? 흠...
