North Korea is a Chinese client State . They are the only player with sufficient power to deal with this.

China has nothing to gain by reigning in Notth Korea. As long as NK doesn't start a war China is completely fine with the United States devoting time and resources on the Northbound korean's. We could turn this into an advantage for us by encouraging the Japanese and South Koreans to increase the size of their militaries and improve them technologically. China would very much hate to see a Japan and SK with strong missile defenses and Air Forces.
