Altaic is a proposed linguistic classification that includes, in its Macro-Altaic form, the Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungusic languages, and at times Koreanic and Japonic, the former more often than the latter. In this linguistic sense, Koreans are "Altaic speakers" if you accept the linguistic classification as being true.
However, since Altaic is not an ethnic classification, it is not meaningful to ask about whether there are still "Altaic people" in Korea. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altaic_languages for more details about the usage of "Altaic" in the academic sense.

Were the Japanese people once were Chinese but they wanted to make their own branch of culture and created Japan?
The origin of Japanese people in not known yet. The Japanese are known to sometimes not consider themselves to be an Asian Country or Race and something completely different due to the fact that they are an island. Many people have expressed that Japan may have originated from Korea. But, I did do some quick searching to see if anything as really change and there hasn't. Japanese people originated from either China or Korea. Kanji is a Japanese spinoff of Chinese characters though the spoken language is classified as a Altaic language, alongside Korea. Language-wise, Korea and Japan have a lot in common (though Korea rarely uses Chinese characters anymore)
