Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, visited South Korea on June 5, stating, "I have brought a lot of business for Korea" and hinted at a surprise gift.
According to Yonhap News, Huang arrived at Gimpo International Airport in the afternoon and told reporters, "There is a surprise gift prepared for Korea," but he declined to specify when it would be revealed, joking, "If I tell you, it wouldn’t be a surprise."
This marks Huang's first visit to Korea in about seven months, following his last trip in October. He expressed his desire to thank all partners and clients in Korea, saying, "We are doing very important work, and the AI development is accelerating."
Huang noted, "We achieved significant results last year, and the Korean market is doing very well. The second half of this year will be much larger than the first half, and next year will be a very big year."
During his stay, Huang is expected to meet with leaders of major domestic companies to discuss collaboration on AI semiconductors, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), physical AI, robotics, and AI infrastructure.
As NVIDIA expands its business beyond AI semiconductors into data centers, robotics, and autonomous driving, the scope of collaboration with South Korean companies is anticipated to broaden.
When asked if he planned to enjoy Korean barbecue that evening, Huang replied, "I really love Korean barbecue. I also really like chicken, and samgyetang is the best. Everything is delicious."
