Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Huang Visits South Korea to Expand AI Ties, Meets T1 Esports Team

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang arrived in South Korea on June 5, 2026, for a four-day visit to deepen the chipmaker’s artificial intelligence partnerships as it broadens collaboration beyond semiconductors. Huang met with the T1 esports team, including star player Faker, to discuss the industry’s development, and later dined with chairmen of SK Group, Hyundai Motor, LG Group, and NAVER. The trip, his first in seven months, signals Nvidia’s push into automotive, gaming, and cloud infrastructure from an existing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) supply chain. Korean netizens launched a website tracking Huang’s movements and “Jensen Huang concept stocks” — including Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and LG Electronics — reflecting retail investor interest in the visit’s partnership potential. Huang’s earlier stops in China and Taiwan drew viral “mukbang” attention, increasing Nvidia’s mainstream visibility.
