The REPUBLIC of South Vietnam didn't come about until 1954/55.- Not responsive to question.

Harry Truman communicated with Ho Chi Minh(president) but did not formally "recognize" the Democratic Republic of Vietnam(north vietnam). John F. Kennedy made a big noise later about no formality so that he(JFK) could make the Democratic Republic of Vietnam someone he could speak as an enemy so that he could get votes. Truth was that the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was an allyof the Inited States.

They were South Vietnamese who supported the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War?

There were three names by which South Vietnamese supporters of the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War were known. One was Viet Cong.

It was first used by Ngo Dinh Diem [January 3, 1901-November 2, 1963], First President of the Republic of [South] Vietnam, to describe the opponents to his government and the supporters of the Democratic Republic of [North] Vietnam. President Diem held office from October 26, 1955, until the overthrow of his government and his assassination. But the South Vietnamese supporters didn't identify themselves as Viet Cong. Instead, they preferred recognition of their membership in, or support for, the pro-North guerrilla army and political group.
