KIM Jong-un's squad of infamous bodyguards have been spotted jogging alongside the paranoid dictator's car amid fears he might be targeted by an assassin at his summit with Donald Trump. 

Footage showed the North Korean leader's super-fit security detail - an elite handpicked martial arts experts - spring into action alongside the official limo after it whisked him away from Changi Airport in Singapore.

The 36-year-old despot is reportedly terrified he will be assassinated while at the crunch summit with Donald Trump in Singapore, which is aimed at averting nuclear war.

This will be his longest ever trip abroad since taking command from his late father in 2011.

So his suit-clad security detail have been tasked with making sure no-one gets near him.

Code-named Central Party Office #6, they are selected from the Korean People's Army.

One bizarre requirement being they can't be taller than pint-sized Kim who is about 5ft 5ins.

The mysterious bunch seem to appear from nowhere every time their leader's limo slows down.

They also seemed to be able choreograph themselves so that they always have a 360 degree view around Kim.

Armed Singapore cops carrying machine guns have surrounded the St Regis Hotel hotel where Kim is staying.

But while on his way to the summit in Sentosa Island in his 20 car motorcade it is down to the bodyguards to keep the tyrant safe.

Jong-un's bodyguards first made headlines in April after they appeared around his car during his peace summit in South Korea.

The security kept pace and changed formation with ease as the car glided round a bend and crossed a patch of dead grass to get to its destination.

The chubby dictator chose to ride in his limo rather than take a short walk back to his lunch destination, forcing a spot of intense cardio on his guards.

The bodyguards appeared after Kim's arrived in a third plane having sent two others as a decoys.

The two decoy jets, including Kim’s outdated Soviet-era Ilyushin-62 dubbed Air Force Un, also flew from Pyongyang to south-east Asia.

The plane he actually arrived in was perhaps a more safer Air China airliner.

The meeting will be the first time a sitting US President has met with a member of the Kim dynasty.

Before flying out to south-east Asia, Trump said he was on a "peace mission" while insisting he will know if he can strike a deal with the dictator “within the first minute” of their meeting.

The brash New Yorker flew to Singapore last night to prepare for the showdown summit.

As he left the G7 summit in Canada, Trump called on the diminutive despot to seize on his “one-time shot” to make history and agree to disarm in exchange for economic prosperity.

Trump expressed his desire to invite the North Korean leader to the White House if the meeting at the £8,000-a-night luxury resort in Singapore goes smoothly.

The former reality TV star, 71, said he would prefer to welcome Kim to the White House over his luxury Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

"Maybe we'll start with the White House," he told reporters at a press conference alongside Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
