Trump-Kim Summit: Elite Bodyguards Likely to Accompany Kim Jong Un on Trip

The Straits Times

07 June 2018

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s tall, strapping bodyguards, who caused a small stir jogging alongside his armoured limousine at the inter-Korea summit in April, are expected to follow him to Singapore next week when he meets US President Donald Trump. Security around Mr Kim, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, is known to be ironclad. Mr Shawn Ho, associate research fellow at RSIS in Singapore, said “very close attention” will be paid to Mr Kim’s security in Singapore, as he has never visited the Republic before. Mr Ho said that Mr Kim will go to Singapore with his bodyguards, and may take his own bulletproof car.
