Kim Jong-Un's security team was seen taking a very specific measure after his meeting with the Russian President Vladimir Putin. After the North Korean leader left the room, his security rushed to the area where he was sitting and started cleaning it. Every surface that Kim touched was scrubbed.
One staff member polished the arms and backrest of Kim’s chair, while another swiftly removed his drinking glass on a tray. Even the small side table was carefully wiped down until no trace was left.

Russian journalist Alexander Yunashev, reporting on his channel Yunashev Live, noted: “After the negotiations, the staff accompanying the head of the DPRK carefully destroyed all traces of Kim’s presence."
Watch:
Although, the actual reason for the extream sanitization remains unclear. Kim is not the only leader in the world who does not leave his biological footprint anywhere. Russian President Putin reportedly travels with bodyguards who carries his 'poop' back to Russia in sealed containers to ensure that no sensitive information about the president could leak.

Despite the unusual aftermath, the talks between the two leaders were described by Russian media as ending on a 'positive note'. Kim Jong Un expressed unwavering support for Putin, telling him, “If there is anything I can or must do for you and the Russian people, I consider it my duty as a fraternal obligation."
The Beijing parade also marked a significant moment for Kim, being his first known international trip since the pandemic and his first public appearance alongside both Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
