Importation and quarantine procedure for pets (cats and dogs) to The Republic of Korea
All live animals and animal products entering Korea must be accompanied by valid certificates issued by the exporting country's government. Declare all import animals and animal products upon arrival to the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service, where they must be inspected.
Cloven-hoofed animals and their products that are shipped from import-restricted areas will be sent back or destroyed.
Cats and dogs coming into Korea are subject to new regulations as of 01 December 2012.

You've posted information about the Republic of Korea (ROK); North Korea is not the same. ROK is South Korea, whilst Democratic Republic of Korea (DPRK ) is North Korea.
