김정은, 세인트 레지스 호텔에서 묵을 가능성 높아

While the two leaders are meeting at Capella Hotel in Singapore for the summit, we're learning their accomodations may differ.
The Shangri-la is where the American president will stay, while North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may choose the Saint Regis.
For details we turn to our Park Hee-jun.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is likely to stay at The St. Regis Singapore,... for his summit with U.S. President Donald Trump next week.

There are reports that his de-facto chief of staff Kim Chang-son visited the hotel at around midnight, Friday.
He's believed to have visited for a final check-up before Kim Jong-un arrives.

The five-star Orchard Road hotel is where the Chinese delegation stayed in 2015,... for the historic summit between the leaders of China and Taiwan.

The hotel is only 570 meters or a 10-minute walk away from the Shangri-La Hotel where President Trump is expected to stay.
It's also within the 'special zone' inside the 'special event area' designated by the Singaporean government for the North Korea-U.S. summit.
Previous reports had hinted that Kim would stay at the Fullerton Hotel,... but the Fullerton is not situated within the security area.

It also appears that security preparations are underway within the St. Regis hotel premises.
More than 10 security cameras have been installed around the hotel,... and multiple media reports have said Singaporean Civil Defense Force officers were seen holding discussions at the hotel.

Meanwhile, security is being beefed up all over Singapore.
North Korea and the U.S. will have their own security teams,... but Singapore will deploy its own special guard force-- the Gurkha Contingent.
Originating from Nepal,... they're known to be some of the bravest and fiercest fighters in the world.
Before and throughout the historic summit, the Gurkhas will patrol the summit venue and streets of Singapore.
