To this, Dex shared the backstory of how it all happened.

For us, we call the president ‘VIP,’ so when we saw him, things got crazy. People were trying to get a photo with him or shake his hand. I happened to be the last to meet him, and I thought I should make some impact so a photo would be taken and my parents could see me. I thought I should take advantage of this opportunity.

As he grabbed the president’s hand to touch his cheek, he suddenly saw the bodyguard try to pull something out.

I asked him if he could pat my cheek and grabbed his hand. But then I saw the bodyguard beside him try to pull a gun out from under his clothes. But the president smiled and touched my cheek.

It was then he realized he could’ve been in a very dangerous situation.

I saw the expression on the bodyguard’s face behind the president, and I was so surprised. He was really in a position to pull out a gun. When I looked at the bodyguard, his body came forward.

But ultimately it was all worth it in the end as he was able to capture this special moment!
