According to Timatic (http://www.staralliance.com/en/services/visa-and-health/) (the source used by the airlines), it looks ok as long as your ICN-USA flight is direct (i.e. not connecting in NRT etc.), but please confirm yourself!
Korea (Rep.) (KR)
Visa Exemptions:
- Holders of a visa issued by Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand or USA to nationals of any country except for Cuba, Iran, Macedonia (FYROM), Sudan and Syria, only if:
-holding confirmed onward tickets on flights departing within 30 days; when
-arriving from a third country, departing on a direct flight to the country that issued the visa (e.g. DEL-ICN-YVR); or
-arriving on a direct flight from the country that issued the visa, departing to a third country (e.g. YVR-ICN-DEL).
