If we're talking advisors close to the frontlines, yes for quite a while. Russia has used North Korean ballistic missiles for a while now, so there are probably some military advisors from the DPRK involved. As for infantry on the frontlines? I'd say only very, very recently in Kursk, Russia itself. There are videos of North Korean self propelled artillery guns being sent to the frontlines, and some videos showing troop assaults from the Russian side that seem to use tactics which are not suited to the war. Such as large groups of infantry crossing exposed fields with no protection (and getting drone bombarded as a result), friendly fire incidents while trying to shoot down drones. I'm not going to do analysis on facial features or race (for obvious reasons), I'm just talking about battlefield tactics. So if any troops are from North Korea, I imagine it would be those involved in such assaults, as they would not be used to or experienced in this kind of warfare. There was also a video of troops on the Russian side speaking in what sounds like Korean about dodging drones. Russian territory gains in Kursk have also gone up.
Are there actually any North Koreans in Ukraine?
Warning: videos of war, death.

I'll update with links to the videos soon.
Is the ghost of Kiev killing thousands of Russian soldiers on Snake Island?
