Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Hosts Samsung, SK Hynix Execs, Deepens Korea AI Ties

Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang hosted top South Korean technology executives at a dinner in Taipei on June 1, 2026, seeking to solidify partnerships as the artificial-intelligence boom accelerates. The event, held on the sidelines of the Computex trade show, included SK Hynix (000660.KS) CEO Kwak Noh-Jung and leaders from Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), LG Electronics (066570.KS), and Naver. Huang called South Korea “a critical part of our ecosystem” and said he will travel to the country on June 5, adding that the second half of the year will be “very busy.” His remarks helped drive shares of Samsung and LG higher on Monday as investors bet on new AI and robotics collaborations. Nvidia has previously committed to supplying more than 260,000 of its most advanced AI chips to the South Korean government and companies including Samsung and Hyundai Motor Group. Huang said he hopes to “contribute to robotics in Korea” but declined to specify any Seoul meetings.
