Simple answer.
USSR and Kim Ilsung (the first chairman of the people of North Korea)
Korea was divided into North/South Korea after WWII. North under control of the USSR, and the South aided by the US.
The USSR wasn't happy having the US having a foothold in far East Asia. Remember, China just turned communist, and Japan was an enemy of the US, and USSR occupies the cold areas is northeast Asia.
Kim Ilsung saw this as an opportunity to become REALLY powerful. He got the USSR to aid him in a plan to take over the south and re-unite Korea. He also was successful in convincing the USSR that he was going to be stooge for them. The USSR was so convinced they gave him whatever he asked for.
The Korean War was Kim Ilsung's attempt to Unify the two Koreas, the way the gods had meant it to be. South Korea was supposed to be a pushover anyways. The south had flatter land and was somewhat warmer so it was populated by farmers and their lands. The north had the factories, minerals, and coal.
Somehow, the US, UN and south Koreans stopped the invasion.
When McArthur rushed north, the Chinese who bordered north Korea, got rather upset, and after massacre after massacre, we ended up with pretty much the original dividing line between North and South Korea.
