If Kim did get too out of control I'd expect a Chinese lead coup and a puppet government installation.

Also, let's face it, if North Korea was to reunite with South Korea it would completely wreck South Koreas economy. Just ask Catfish how difficult the reunification of Germany was. This would be a million times worse.

The German reunification I Remember well. all the problems West Germany had to face the years and decades after.

I also know the problem it would cause if the people in NK should be liberated. I guess the west had to start a massiv "Marshall Plan" like the one after WWII.
