North Korea and South Korea lie on the Korean Peninsula.
Communist North Korea was invading to reunify the country. Free South Korea was fighting to ward off Communist aggression.
The Korean War took place on the Korean Peninsula, from Pusan on the southern tip to the Yalu River which forms the border between North Korea and China.
Communist North Korea wanted to re-unite with it's NON-Communist relative in the South (South Korea). In June 1950, NORTH Korean Forces invaded SOUTH Korea, in an attempt to take the country by force.
Although the goal of uniting the Korean peninsula under communist rule was unsuccessful, North Korea and its Communist allies still consider the conflict a victory because North Korea's government survived and exists to this day.
North Korea
The Korean Peninsula juts out from northern China between the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. The peninsula is divided into communist North, and democratic South, Korea.

To "Liberate" South Korea is the main reason for the North to attack. The North, which became communist after the Korean peninsula was freed from Japanese rule, wanted South Korea to become communist as well.
The country that is separated between North and South is Korea, specifically North Korea and South Korea. The Korean Peninsula is divided along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which was established at the end of the Korean War in 1953. North Korea is a communist state, while South Korea is a democratic republic. This division has led to significant political, economic, and cultural differences between the two nations.
North Korea itself is not a peninsula. Along with South Korea it is on a peninsula known as the Korean peninsula. North Korea forms the start of it and South Korea is the end of the peninsula.
North Korea became communist and South Korea became democratic

SOUTH KOREA is the only democracy on the Korean peninsula. It is Presidential Republic with a unicameral legislature. North Korea is a dynastic communist regime.
Answer 1North Korea's opposition to the United States dates back to it being part of the communist bloc during the Cold War. It also doesn't help that the U.S. supported anti-communist South Korea in the Korean War. Nowadays, the North Korean regime mostly just uses the threat of the U.S. as an external bogeyman to keep its people in line (think Eurasia in "1984").Answer 2From the North Korean perspective, the North Korean regime is the only legitimate country on the Korean peninsula and South Korea is a US colony (not an independent self-determined country). As a result, it sees the US as an imperialist occupier of the Korean peninsula. For example, it does not see the US troops in South Korea as being there for the protection of South Korean liberties, but in order to force the South Koreans to accept status as a US colony.
