Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, is once again visiting Kkanbu Chicken following his visit last year. It is expected that Huang and SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, together with key executives from both companies, will have dinner and discuss cooperation across the entire spectrum of AI infrastructure, including AI semiconductors and digital twins.

According to industry sources on June 7, Huang is scheduled to meet with Chairman Chey around 7 p.m. at the Kkanbu Chicken Samsung branch in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. This is the same location where, in October of last year, Huang met with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung, and others during his visit to Korea.

Huang is expected to move to the dinner venue after participating in the ceremonial first pitch at a professional baseball game held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul at 5 p.m. that day.

It is also reported that CEOs of major SK affiliates, such as SK hynix and SK Telecom, will attend the meeting alongside the two leaders. After this gathering, discussions are expected to focus on expanding AI cooperation not only with SK hynix, NVIDIA's key memory supplier, but also with SK Telecom, which is working on building digital twins using the NVIDIA platform.

During this trip to Korea, on June 5, the two leaders, along with LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin, participated in a "Samso meeting" at the Hongdae Entrance Korean BBQ restaurant "Hyungnim Jeyo" in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the first day of Huang's visit. At that time, Huang and the group moved to a nearby BBQ restaurant to enjoy a second round of chicken. Previously, on June 1 and 2, Chairman Chey and Huang also met separately during the "GTC Taipei 2026" and Computex events in Taiwan.

Huang has consistently expressed his fondness for Korean food and is especially known as a "chicken lover." Upon his arrival at Gimpo International Airport on June 5, when asked by reporters if he planned to eat Korean barbecue, he replied, "I really like Korean barbecue," adding, "I also love chicken and samgyetang is the best. Everything is delicious."

The previous evening, Huang made a surprise visit with his wife, Lori Huang, his eldest daughter Madison Huang—Senior Director of Omniverse and Robotics Product Marketing at NVIDIA—and five other family members to the famous samgyetang restaurant Tosokchon in Chebu-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
