Travel Tips
Here is the information for US citizens:

KOREA, REPUBLIC OF (South Korea) - *Passport and onward/return ticket required. A visa is not required for a tourist stay of up to 30 days. For longer stays and other types of travel, obtain a visa in advance, $45 fee. HIV test required for persons working as entertainers and staying longer than 90 days; U.S. tests results accepted. For more information, check with the Consular Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, 2320 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20008 (202/939-5663 or 60) or nearest Consulate General: CA (213/385-9300 and 415/921-2251/3), GA (404/522-1611/3), Guam (671/472-6488), HI (808/595-6109), IL (312/822-9485), MA (617/641-2830), NY (212/674-6000), TX (713/961-0186) or WA (206/441-1011/4).

Here are the basic rules for a permanent resident. You'll probably want to check with the Korean embassy above for any more specific requirements:

A Permanent Resident of the United States can travel freely outside of the US. A passport from the country of citizenship is normally all that is needed. To reenter the US a Permanent Resident normally needs to present the green card (Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551) for readmission. A reentry permit is needed for reentry for trips greater than one year but less than two years in duration. Source(s): http://travel.state.gov

Other Travel Tips
I think you get an automatic 30 days stamped on arrival, no visa needed. If you need more time than that, then go to your local Korean consulate in the US (located in the major cities). The location should be in the phone book or you can check the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade's site online. You may also be able to download a form and do this by mail.
