It's fairly simple.

NK has a moribund economy that cannot sustain its conventional forces. They need to be clothed, armed, fed, etc. at great expense. Most of their conventional weapons are obsolete.

Kim Young One has realized what his father knew: conventional weapons are too costly for a bankrupt state like NK. But he also knows that nukes are very cost efficient, and effective in deterring attacks.

He has also witnessed what happens to tyrants, such as Saddam and Qaddafi, who don't have WMDs but somehow get cross-wise with the US. It's curtains for them.

In order to stay in power, Kim Young One needs nukes. I doubt that he intends to use them, but once he has ICBMs tipped with nuke warheads, the game changes. The possibility that he might use them cannot be allowed, come what may.

Think Germany 1937. He has to go now before he can realistically threaten the Continental US or Hawaii.
