Depends on when, South Korea had many leaders.
The United States became involved in Korean affairs in 1949. North Korea and South Korea began having disputes that caused the U.S and the Soviet Union to get involved. The Soviets backed Northern Korea and the U.S the south. The intent being to calm tensions between the sides by forming two individual territories and setting them up with a democratic government. It became apparent, however, that North Korea would always favor communism, when they moved forces into South Korea in 1949.
