I believe they have been under really tough sanctions. Maybe this triggered change?

Yes, the sanctions strangled the North Korean economy and they were actually enforced this time around. China had too much pressure from the US to violate the sanctions.

Kim probably felt that his rule was coming to an end if he didn't cave in.
