South Korea did not invade North Korea. North Korea invaded South Korea. The reason why North Korea invaded South Korea is because they both had different opinions. North Korea thinks that being a democratic country is fair however South Korea thinks that republic is more equal. Both presidents disagreed each other. But the point is, the North Koreans were scared to get pulled by South Koreans' opinions, so they always attacked and the South Koreans always defended from it.

Why did the US invade the Korean peninsula?

To restore South Korea after it had been invaded by North Korea. The US invaded Korea twice. The first time was in 1945 when the US and the USSR agreed to invade the Korean Peninsula to defeat the ruling Japanese. The USSR invaded from the north and, as agreed, stopped at the 38th parallel. The US invaded from the south and stopped at the same line. The second time, in 1950, the US only invaded North Korea. The Republic of Korea (South Korea) requested US assistance, so when the US entered South Korea it was by invitation, not invasion. The invasion of North Korea was part of the objective of eliminating the North Korean ability to effectively re-invade South Korea.

Did South Korea invade South Korea?

No. It is impossible for a country to invade itself. However, North Korea invaded South Korea and would have been victorious if not for the United Nations intervention.You could make the argument, however, that since South Korean forces participated in the Inchon invasion launched by General Macarthur, that the South Korean Army invaded sovereign South Korean territory under North Korean Occupation, but this is a long stretch as regards terms.
