NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang dines with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang met with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won at a Kkanbu Chicken restaurant in Seoul on Thursday, just two days after attending a dinner with other top South Korean business leaders. The restaurant, Kkanbu Chicken's Samsung branch, is the same location where Huang met Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chairman Chung Euisun last October.

Huang arrived at the restaurant wearing a Doosan Bears baseball uniform with the number 93, signifying NVIDIA's founding year of 1993. He was greeted by enthusiastic citizens, to whom he waved, signed autographs, and accepted gifts. Chey Tae-won also arrived, prompting further cheers from the crowd.

Hi everyone

The two leaders reportedly finished a whole chicken within 20 minutes, after which a second chicken and beverages were served. Huang engaged with a child who requested an autograph, noting the child's shirt bore the phrase "We're Kkanbu, so lucky-bucky." This meeting marks the seventh time Huang has met with Chey Tae-won in the past seven months.

Earlier in his visit, Huang had dinner with Chey Tae-won, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Naver Global Investment Officer Lee Hae-jin. His itinerary for Thursday includes visits to Hyundai Motor headquarters, LG Electronics headquarters, and Naver's 1784 building in Pangyo. These meetings are expected to explore various collaboration opportunities. Huang is scheduled to depart South Korea late Thursday or early Friday.
