Lend-Lease officially ended on August 21, 1945 and was never renewed.

The M1 Garands and Carbines provided to Korea were provided as direct military aid in the wake of the Korean War and were, as far as I know, given to Korea to do with as they wished. Unlike Lend-Lease materials, they became the property of the Republic of Korea at the time they were transferred to Korean possession.

Korea was never a participant in Lend-Lease because the whole of the Korean Peninsula had been, since 1910, a colony or protectorate of the Japanese Empire.
