Korea was effectively controlled by the Mongols in the 13th century. The Mongol invasions of Japan in that time were launched on Korean ships.
They haven't really got along since. But in 1910, Japan annexed Korea and essentially used their people as slaves and tried to erase Korean culture. That didn't end until after WWII.
India and Korea actually have strong relations officially. There's no bad blood there really. But they do see one another as competitors. The real issue between the two is a latent racism that exists among East Asians against those from the Indian sub-continent. This is furthered by the fact that Korea and Japan have both created vibrant modern economies of the type that India has tried and failed to create.
They do work together just fine in business. But their friendship doesn't extend beyond that from what I understand.
