This is all about the assession of Junior and the military asserting its muscle within the North Korean Government. You don't put your future leader into a military leadership role and then expect him not to flex his muscles. This makes him look powerful, decisive and in control.
If I remember right, when Kim Jong-il was being groomed he was put into a leadership role with thier intelligence services and shortly afterwards a lot of senior party members "took immediate retirement for health reasons"
The NK military is probably one of the areas of concern for the government in place because it works closely with the Chinese military so it could be perceived as being disloyal, and maybe a little power hungry becasue its usually militaries that instigates coups.
