I tried searching online and through the forums but found no information on how EPIK/GEPIK/SMOE view dual citizenship when one is not Korean. For example, will being a dual citizen of the UK and USA have any implications on one's application?

From a language standpoint, I think it's a moot point at worst because they are both English speaking countries. But maybe you would be required to fulfill two background checks? Or is it best to not mention one of them considering I've only lived in one of the countries for my life.

You would use the passport from the country that you received your degree in. Otherwise, a non-issue. I know someone here who has triple citizenship and uses the passport from the country from which he received his Bachelor's degree.

Use the passport that matches the country you got your post secondary education from.
You will only need the CBC from that one country.

Don't mention the other passport. It is a non-issue and of no benefit to you.
