US Navy SEALs were a smaller force than the US Army's Special Forces (Green Beret); they probably never numbered more than 400 men during the whole war. Nearly 50 SEALs were killed in Vietnam; compared to over 800 Green Berets killed during the war. SEALs were primarily instructors (advisers) and covert operators specializing in blue and brown water (riverine) training and operations. The SEALs paralleled the Army's SF units; minus the "blue & brown" water operations.
Created Green Berets & SEALS, and sent them to Vietnam .
The precursor units to the SEALs operated in both theaters of war. In the Pacific the UDT Underwater Demolition Teams cleared and mapped the beach landings prior to the USMC assaults. In the European theater the NCDU Naval Combat Demolition Units performed similar functions.

No. President Kennedy sent advisors to South Vietnam, not Korea. Vietnam was the slow-growing cancer that allowed advisers to become involved. JFK sent the SEALS and Green Berets to Southeast Asia (Vietnam). JFK authorized the "Green Beret" for the US Special Forces. The SEALS were converted UDT men (Under Water Demolition men, aka Frogmen); they too were converted to SEALS on JFK's watch.
The USAF/USN fought their "Air" war over North Vietnam. The US Army/Marines fought in South Vietnam. Covert operators (Special Forces, Seals, Ravens, etc.) fought in Cambodia & Laos.

To try and keep South Vietnam from falling to the Communists, and because the government of South Vietnam was too corrupt and incompetent to defend themselves. The government of South Vietnam was never able to defend themselves, and President Gerald R. Ford finally gave up on them in 1975. They soon fell to communist North Vietnam.
