Chair Scrubbed, Armrest Wiped, Table Cleaned: Kim’s Aides Erase His DNA After Talks With Putin | 4K

Last Updated: Crux Videos

After North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin wrapped up in Beijing, Kim’s aides rushed in to wipe his seat.Footage showed Kim’s staff scrubbing down every surface the leader had touched. The chair’s backrest was polished, its armrests wiped, and even the side table cleaned. His drinking glass was taken away on a tray. The reason for Kim’s precautions is unclear. It may be fear of Russia’s security services or anxiety about China’s surveillance. But Kim is not alone in guarding his biological footprint. Putin himself is said to go to extraordinary lengths to prevent DNA theft, reportedly having bodyguards collect his urine and faecal matter in sealed bags whenever he travels abroad, n18oc_world n18oc_crux
