A young man from rural China has gone viral online for his impersonation of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
According to the South China Morning Post on June 2, 28-year-old Yang Yang from a village in Dandong, Liaoning Province, posted a video mimicking Huang that garnered explosive reactions.
Dressed in a cheap leather jacket and glasses, with flour sprinkled in his hair to replicate Huang's look, Yang's video quickly spread, earning him tens of thousands of followers in about two weeks.
Investing around 50,000 won (approximately $40), he transformed into Huang, mimicking his eating and drinking habits while holding a model of a graphics card, bringing laughter to viewers.
His impersonation videos have each received millions of views, with some reaching up to 15 million views, sparking significant interest.
While CEOs were once primarily remembered for corporate performance, product launches, and stock trends, Jensen Huang has emerged as a key figure in the AI semiconductor market and a character in popular culture.
Meanwhile, Jensen Huang arrived at Gimpo Airport around 1 p.m. on June 5. His first schedule in South Korea included a visit to the T1 Base Camp PC Bang near Hongdae, where he met with League of Legends esports players, including Faker (Lee Sang-hyeok), Doran (Choi Hyun-jun), Owner (Moon Hyun-jun), Phase (Kim Soo-hwan), and Keria (Ryu Min-seok). T1 Base Camp is a PC bang operated by T1.
The atmosphere was filled with cheers from fans welcoming Huang, who also took time to pose for photos and sign autographs for those gathered at the PC bang.
Later that day, Huang is scheduled to meet with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin at a Korean barbecue restaurant called "Hyungnim Jeoyo" in the Mapo district of Seoul.
