Kim Jong-un’s Team Erases DNA Traces After Putin Meeting in Beijing – Video Sparks Global Buzz
Beijing, Sept 4, 2025 — A viral video from Beijing has left the world stunned, showing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s aides scrubbing down his chair, table, and even removing his drinking glass right after a two-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The footage, released by Kremlin reporter Alexander Yunashev, reveals Kim’s security detail meticulously wiping every surface he touched. Analysts say the unusual clean-up was aimed at preventing foreign agencies from collecting DNA samples that could reveal details about Kim’s health.
This isn’t the first time Kim’s team has gone to such extremes. During previous trips abroad, they’ve disinfected rooms, carried his private toilet, and removed cigarette butts — all part of a strict biosecurity protocol. Experts point out that Putin’s entourage reportedly follows similar measures to guard against espionage.
The Beijing summit itself carried weight far beyond the viral video. Kim not only attended a military parade with Xi Jinping and Putin but also vowed “full support” for Moscow, underscoring the deepening ties between Pyongyang, Beijing, and Moscow — an alliance Western powers are watching with growing concern.
While the optics showed friendship and solidarity, the clean-up video highlighted another reality: the extraordinary paranoia surrounding North Korea’s leadership, where even a single fingerprint or drop of water is considered a security threat.
