It's not. It's because they accidentally collapsed their nuclear testing site, so the future of their nuclear program is uncertain. If their "concessions" are halting what they are presently unable to do, they can squeeze out some concessions without having to do anything themselves. Furthermore, this could easily be part of their long history of reneging on their deals and their long pattern of alternating between doom-saying and playing nice with their neighbors.
I'll take global stability anytime, but there's nothing about this which suggests international pressures had anything to do with it. It's fortuitous that the South Korean leader has built an entire political career on the dream of peace between the North and South.
Here's hoping West Korea doesn't screw it up, because all Kim-Jong Drumpf has been doing is making the process more difficult.
