Why would they give up control of the North Korean population so easily?

His successor has already been choosen, his son has basically taken up the role of party central, which if you remember was the mysterious title given to his son just before he took power.
In order to establish power, the next Kim will ruthlessly purge many of the older Politburo members, senior members of State Security and possibly some of the more questionable military leaders.
These guys rule their underlings by fear. New Kim will have to establish that fear.
