There really wasn’t remotely as much protesting against the Korean War. Americans at that time still had trust with the decisions of their government, so the US (UN) intervention in Korean Civil War was largely supported by the American public.
If anything, any popular song would have likely been one that reminded the troops of home or supported jingoism.

This song titled "The Song of 6.25"

(note: Korean War is called the "6.25 War" in South Korea - based on the day that the war started.)

In South Korea, "Be Strong, Geumsoon" is probably the most famous song about the Korean War. The song depicts the sorrows of refugees from northern Korea.
