We had a very nice lunch at this restaurant Yetjeongui Gol (in Jeju) serving black pork bulgogi.
Almost every household raised pigs in the old days and it was a custom
to serve guests pork. Pork produced in Jeju was unique in taste because
of its preparation. The pork was smoked over burning hay so that the
flavor of the hay could penetrate the meat. Jeju’s native pigs are
covered in black hair so that they were called black pigs. The meat is
chewy and nutritious, but does not have the unique smell of pork. The
taste is preferable to other pork. Bulgogi (grilled pork) with spices or
as a raw dish with soy sauce has a nice, mild flavor. The more you eat,
the nicer the unique taste becomes.

You must be thinking black pig...sure has black skin but the meat looks the same as normal pig on hotplate.
