Professor An Yong Kun (Ann Yong Geun), a nutritionist, is known as "Dr. Dog Meat" (Kaegogi Paksa). He has studied dog meat's nutritional aspects and is its greatest booster. He has developed processed dog meat products and even dog meat oil-based cosmetics. He says he regrets that dog meat is so expensive he can't eat it everyday. Dr. Dog Meat is furious at foreigners who complain about eating dogs in Korea, where dogs are livestock, not pets. He says the French ate dog through the 1800s, and the U.S. even today kills up to 3,000 dogs a year to use in puppy food.

An has developed dog-based kimchi, soy sauce, koch'ujang (red pepper paste), and other common food items. His Emulsion cosmetic line contains 15% dog oil. He says dog oil is the best thing in the world for healthy skin. An is finishing development of dog-based mayonnaise, ketchup, hamburgers and meatballs. He says tests of dog burger reveal it to be the tastiest burger yet. An's goal is to teach the world that eating dog meat is a sign of an advanced culture. To that end, he is developing a Website "Globalization of Dog Meat," in four languages. An met foreign reporters in Seoul on May 25 to announce his new dog meat products. He called on Koreans not to be embarrassed over eating dog meat, and said he will lobby for formal legalization of dog meat.
