YES, but in very few and esoteric dishes. The most famous dog-meat dish is Boshintang (보신탕) or Dog-Meat Soup. It is still a very unpopular dish in terms of popular consumption. Less than 5% of Koreans eat dog on any kind of regular basis and there is strong criticism of eating dog in both Korea and abroad. (In North Korea, there is not much criticism of dog-meat eating, but because of how expensive it is, there probably is not much dog-meat consumption anyway.)

The most popular Korean dishes use chicken, beef, pork, shellfish, fish, vegetables, rice (or rice derivatives), and Asian pasta and most Korean restaurants do not serve dog dishes at all. However, it is a part of Korean cuisine.

Yes, in limited amounts, dog is used in some Korean dishes. In modern times, most Korean foods use "more traditional" meats like beef or chicken.
