Citing any WWII action is dubious at best. And South Korea was a dictatorship in the time afterwards so not exactly a paragon of freedom. If your argument hinges on the Kosovo air war as proof that the US war intervention isn't a default failure, then you've already lost the argument.

If your standard is perfection you’ll always be disappointed.

Suffice to say that both Taiwan and South Korea would not be leading democracies in Asia without US intervention. Yes, both were dictatorships initially.

Are you arguing it would be better if North Korea were running the whole peninsula? And China controlled Taiwan?
