During his historic visit to North Korea, Russian President Vladimir Putin encountered an unexpected moment of courtesy with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Arriving at Pyongyang's airport, Putin was warmly greeted by Kim, followed by a notable exchange captured on social media. Videos showed the leaders engaging in a warm hug and, later, an awkward yet polite insistence on who should enter the car first. The gesture, reminiscent of "Phele Aap" courtesy, sparked viral reactions online. The video shows a brief, awkward exchange before Putin finally relents and takes his seat.
