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.
