S. Korea - visa needed?

Hi all, I am planning a birthday trip for my grandmother who holds a Chinese passport, but lives in the US. We will have an overnight connection at ICN and we will be staying at the Hyatt near the airport - will she need a tourist visa for the overnight transit?

I have been getting conflicting and confusing information online - some websites say that Chinese passport holders will need a visa, but there are also ones that say Chinese passport holders can do 30 days visa-free.

If she does need a visa, can see get it at the S. Korean embassy in the US, or must she go to S. Korean embassy in China?
