Are there still Altaic people in Korea?
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.
