Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang visited Seoul on Friday, seven months after making headlines with a fried chicken gathering with the heads of Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor Group that was followed by a large-scale Nvidia artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator supply across Korea.
This time, his visit is set to focus on partnerships with a broader range of Korean firms in AI applications, including robotics, physical AI, infrastructure and gaming. In addition to his business engagements, Huang is also scheduled to make a television appearance and throw a ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game, in response to his celebrity-like popularity among Korean fans.
Huang arrived in Korea through the Seoul Gimpo Business Aviation Center at around 1:30 p.m., after making appearances at COMPUTEX 2026 and GTC Taipei 2026, both in Taiwan.
“I’m back because I want to thank all of my partners and customers who are here,” Huang told reporters. “I want to make sure that ... our partners are aligned and prepared.”
