NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is expected to visit South Korea and hold an informal dinner with business leaders in Seongsu-dong, where pork belly and soju will be served.
According to a report from Yonhap News on June 1, during his visit, Huang will meet with domestic business figures for a casual meal featuring pork belly and drinks.
Huang is scheduled to arrive in South Korea on the evening of June 4, after attending NVIDIA's annual AI conference, GTC Taipei. He is expected to begin meetings with major corporate leaders the following day, June 5, as part of his official itinerary.
Yonhap reported that attendees will include Choi Tae-won, chairman of SK Group; Koo Kwang-mo, chairman of LG Group; and Lee Hae-jin, chairman of Naver. Hyundai Motor Group chairman Chung Eui-sun is also reportedly considering attending and is coordinating details. However, Lee Jae-yong, vice chairman of Samsung Electronics, is unable to attend due to overseas commitments.
An employee at the restaurant indicated in a phone call with Yonhap that "NVIDIA has made a preliminary reservation" and that they will confirm the final reservation based on the number of attendees.
Industry observers are paying close attention to this meeting, as it may discuss collaboration in AI semiconductors, robotics, and physical AI. There are speculations that this gathering could resemble last October's notable "Kang Boo Meeting."
Additionally, Huang is set to throw the first pitch at a Doosan Bears home game at Jamsil Baseball Stadium and is planning a meeting with domestic business leaders at the Shilla Hotel.
Before his visit, Huang delivered a keynote speech at GTC Taipei on the afternoon of June 1 and is scheduled to host a "Korea Partner Night" dinner with key business representatives that evening.
Attendees at this dinner will include Kim Jae-jun, vice president of Samsung Electronics' Memory Business; Kwak No-jung, CEO of SK Hynix; Jeong Soo-hun, vice president of LG Science Park; and Kim Yoo-won, CEO of Naver Cloud.
