SEOUL, June 06 (AJP) - Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was spotted dancing during a taping of tvN’s popular talk show “You Quiz on the Block,” drawing playful reactions from Korean fans online.

On Saturday, the show’s official social media account released photos from the filming, along with a witty caption that read, “The third-round karaoke session we missed yesterday has come to You Quiz.”

In the photos, Huang appeared in his signature black leather jacket and black pants against the backdrop of a traditional Korean hanok. He was seen dancing to “Golden,” a song from the soundtrack of Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters,” showing off his easygoing charm.

Fans reacted with comments such as, “Is this real, not AI?” “The chairman is working hard,” and “Even Jensen Huang is living this diligently.”

Another photo showed Huang sitting next to host Yoo Jae-suk with a bright smile. The two appeared to share a relaxed conversation during the shoot, creating a warm atmosphere on set.

This marks Huang’s first appearance on a variety show, both in Korea and overseas, raising interest in what stories he will share on the program.

The appearance came during Huang’s latest visit to South Korea. On his first day in Seoul, the Nvidia chief experienced a Korean-style Friday night company dinner in Hongdae, dining on pork belly and soju with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Naver founder Lee Hae-jin before moving to a fried chicken restaurant for a second round. The gathering lasted about three and a half hours and focused on strengthening cooperation.

Huang has often drawn attention during his visits to Korea for actively engaging with local fans. During his visit last October, his first trip to Korea in 15 years, he made headlines for a surprise “chimaek” gathering at Kkanbu Chicken with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Eui-sun. 

About seven months later, Huang is again drawing attention for his casual interactions with Korean fans during his latest visit.

The episode of “You Quiz on the Block” featuring Huang is scheduled to air on Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.
