Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, is expected to visit Naver's second headquarters, known as '1784', on June 8 during his trip to South Korea this week.
According to the IT industry on June 1, Huang plans to visit South Korea after attending the 'GTC Taiwan 2026' event. He is currently in discussions with Naver about visiting the 1784 building in Bundang, Seongnam, which houses advanced technologies such as robotics, cloud computing, digital twins, and 5G networks.
Before his visit to Naver, Huang is set to meet with Lee Hae-jin, Chairman of Naver's board, on June 5. If the meeting occurs, it is expected that they will discuss collaboration on physical AI and Sovereign AI initiatives.
Industry sources indicate that the two companies have been exploring collaboration opportunities centered around Sovereign AI. Additionally, as Naver has established a dedicated defense AI organization starting today to target the security market, there is keen interest in how far the two companies can expand and solidify their AI infrastructure partnership.
In March, Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, visited Naver's 1784 headquarters to discuss AI infrastructure collaboration with Naver's CEO Choi Soo-young. At that time, Naver and AMD signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to expand the AI ecosystem and collaborate on next-generation infrastructure.
Naver stated that it is currently difficult to confirm the specifics of Huang's visit and the potential meetings.
Meanwhile, if Huang visits South Korea, there is speculation about possible meetings with prominent business leaders, including Chey Tae-won, Chairman of SK Group, Chung Eui-sun, Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, and Koo Kwang-mo, Chairman of LG Group.
