All people - general statements about people.
All people will die someday.
All of people (X)
All the people / All of the people
These are used when you are talking about a specific group of people and are interchangeable.
All (of) the people in this picture are my friends.

Thanks so much!!
Can I say "all students in Korea", then? or I should use "the" every time I indicate sb/sth specific?

"All students in Korea" and "All (of) the students in Korea" are both correct, but the second one implies that you are restricting these students from a group of more students, some of which are not in Korea. To me, the first sounds more natural.
