North Korea never helped South Korea because North Korea is a communist country and S. Korea is a democratic country. Thats wrong and not a answer, the united states helped S.K by destroying the bridge that China was sending reinforcements to N.K and sent reinforcements to the port of Incheon.

The US, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand,bangladesh and India helped South Korea while the Soviet Union and China helped North Korea.

ROK sent the second largest contingent of troops to South Vietnam; 150,000 men. Why? Because the US/allies helped them during the Korean War, and they felt it was only fair to help out the US/allies when they themselves were asked for help. So the ROKs complied. Addtionally, the ROK military prided themselves in "toughness" during those times, and they had a reputation for laying out their enemy body counts for all to see along the highway(s), especially in the Highlands (II Corps). Translation: The ROK military considered South Vietnam to be excellent combat experience (just in case Korea erupted again).
