The question misrepresents the way the war started. North Korea was in the Communist bloc while South Korea was oriented to the free world. The United Nations was actively engaged in keeping the peace at a time when it was less than five years in existence. When North Korea suddenly invaded South Korea with the purpose of unifying the country, the US called for a special session of the Security Council to restore peace. Oddly, the Soviet Union was at the time boycotting the meetings on an unrelated issue. If the SU had been present, it certainly would have vetoed any action, but as it happened the Security Council ordered the UN members to come to the defense of South Korea. The US and 15 other nations sent troops, By that time only Pusan in the southern tip had not been overrun by North troops. The UN forces, under the command of the US Gen. McArthur, pushed back and continued almost as far as the Yalu River in the north, but the Chinese Communist army joined the North Korean side. When the battle line returned approximately to the original dividing line, there was a stalemate and eventually an armistice, although to this day there is no peace.
The United States (South Korea) and the Soviet Union (North Korea)
The US had no option but to support the South side of Korea that was divided by the 17th parallel. North Korea was already supported by the soviet Union, so they favored Communism. South Korea favored Capitalism, or Democracy for its people. The U.S. had basically joined the southern part of Korea in order to slow down the spread of Communism.
The Soviet Union occupied the North and the United States had the South. North Korea became a communist nation. And South Korea became a democratic nation. In 1950, North Korean troops invaded South Korea. The United Nations sent troops from the United States to help defend South Korea. Chinese troops joined North Korea.
South Korea is a peninsula, so only the sea borders Korea to the south.
South Korea is not tropical. It exists in a temperate climate zone similar to the United States.

The United States (South Korea) and the Soviet Union (North Korea)
The United States felt that it was in their best interest to preserve South Korea as an independent nation, and entered in a treaty where the US agreed that it would aid and support South Korea. This was also an action endorsed by the United Nations- during the Korean War, several nations besides the US provided military support to South Korea.
