Kim Jong Un’s security aides thoroughly scrutinize his chair before his meeting with Vladimir Putin (Video)

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un trusts no one, and this emerged on Wednesday as his security operatives meticulously scrutinized a chair he was to sit upon in a meeting with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin in Russia.

In a viral video, a man in white gloves and a dark suit can be seen wiping down the black chair with a white cloth before the two leaders sat down for the meeting.

The flustered man thoroughly cleaned the seat itself, the back of the chair and the armrests and was supported in his efforts by two other North Korean officials who stood behind him with more cleaning supplies if required.

After making sure the seat was clean, a second official – a man dressed identically to the first – then tested if the chair was strong enough to bear his supreme leader’s weight, which is said to be around 300lbs.
