North Korean President Kim Jong Un arrived in Singapore today, two days ahead of the historic summit with US President Donald Trump. The discussion is aimed at curbing the nuclear crisis for good. Both the country presidents have arrived in Singapore and while the meeting has everyone hooked, the running bodyguards of North Korean President have once again caught fancy of people on social media. As Kim's limousine took him away from the Changi airport, his security guards protected him running around his vehicle, themselves un-suited. There was also a report that Kim begged Trump for this meeting.

Kim Jong Un is reportedly terrified of assassination as he has gathered to discuss the future of nuclear weapons. His well-suited security force is asked to ensure that no one gets near him. Kim's security army which keeps running around the car in pace has been a discussion on social media. These guards are collectively called the Central Party Office #6. The formal name for them is Main Office of Adjutants. They are the immediate people around Kim and selected from the Korean People's Army (KPA) recruits.

Check Kim Jong Un's bodyguards running around his limo in Singapore:

They are carefully selected after matching the criteria- specific height and no visual impairments. Their height needs to be similar to the leader. They also must show accomplishments or a high aptitude for skills such as firing a gun and martial arts. A thorough background check is done of each and every person selected that goes back to at least two generations. The Main Office of Adjutants has many of the President's relatives or people from the more elite families in North Korea. On selection, they are given intensive training. The training is very much in line with the KPA's Special Operations Forces. They train in the use of handguns, a variety of martial arts along with physical endurance challenges.

These bodyguards ring around Kim in a manner that they have a 360-degree view of both the people near him and the location. They carry with them a semi-automatic handgun and a back-up weapon. But their main weapon has to be their observation skills. Among all this physical endurance training and lengthy procedures, it is their running along the President's car makes a striking image to everyone.
