China has developed into a real superpower in the region and no neighbour countries feel the need to have a fight with them.

It's also cultural- Korea has historically had very close ties to China in particular, beyond politics. US style anti-Chinese sentiment isn't going to play there. In a relatively recent Korean slasher film that was a metaphor for global politics, the US relationship to South Korea was represented by a lurking monster bred from toxic waste. Not exactly the most positive image.
If any country supported the US in East Asia against China, it would probably be Japan. But I think that's a long shot.
