It wasn't NK that agreed to come to the table. They have been wanting a one on one with the US for decades. It was Trump who agreed to come to the table, not Kim. The US has always insisted that NK is a regional problem and that nothing substantive can be done without the other regional players. Which includes South Korea, Japan, Russia and China.

Don't let Trump frame the issue. It has never been the case that NK was some sort of shy damsel who has been reluctant to talk and that Trump pulled off some sort of coup by luring Kim to the table. No, it was Kim that pulled off the coup, being treated as an equal to the US and above South Korea.
