From bonding over chimaek, Korea's iconic chicken and beer combo, last year to grilled

samgyeopsal (pork belly) and soju

in the coming days, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is likely to double down on his unconventional yet local recipe for building ties with Korean tech leaders.

Huang is expected to arrive in Korea on Thursday evening after completing his schedule at GTC Taipei 2026, the company’s annual AI conference in Taiwan, according to industry sources on Monday.
