Jensen Huang Visits Naver: "GPU Is Happiness... The More You Have, the More You Can Work"

On the 8th, Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, who was scheduled to visit the Naver headquarters, stated, "The GPU is happiness."

That afternoon, CEO Huang visited Naver’s headquarters, Naver 1784, in Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province. Lee Hae-jin, Chairman of Naver’s board, Choi Soo-yeon, CEO of Naver, and Kim Yoo-won, CEO of Naver Cloud, personally greeted him. From NVIDIA, CEO Huang was accompanied by his eldest daughter, Madison Huang, Senior Director of Omniverse & Robotics Product Marketing.

On this day, Naver hosted an event for CEO Huang, where the final line from Naver Webtoon’s popular series "The Greatest Estate Designer" was written by both CEO Huang and Chairman Lee. They each wrote advice they would like to give to the main character. CEO Huang wrote, "The more GPUs you have, the more work you can do and the happier you become," adding, "Both NVIDIA and Naver work hard, and we are also very happy."

Chairman Lee wrote, "Happiness is pork belly, work is perilla leaves. Wrap them together and eat in one bite," and commented, "Since we had a pork belly gathering not long ago, that impression still remains. I believe there is a good way to serve work and happiness together, without separating them."

Afterward, CEO Huang and Chairman Lee moved to "Vision Stage," an extended reality (XR) studio in the basement of the headquarters, where they conducted a live broadcast through Naver’s live streaming platform, Chzzzik.

Earlier in the morning, Naver announced via disclosure that it plans to build a gigawatt (GW)-level artificial intelligence (AI) factory together with NVIDIA. The AI factory will be core infrastructure for model training, post-training, and inference tasks, operating as an advanced data center—essentially a "factory" for large-scale AI model learning. The two companies will begin with a 55-megawatt (MW) AI factory in 2027, expand to 100 MW in the same year, and then to 200 MW in 2028, gradually increasing infrastructure capacity. Ultimately, the plan is to establish an AI factory infrastructure at the 1 GW level.

Additionally, Naver’s in-house capabilities for building and operating GPU clusters will be integrated with NVIDIA’s DSX platform. In the field of physical AI, the companies will also cooperate by developing the "Seoul World Model" using Naver’s Street View data for NVIDIA’s World Foundation Model "Cosmos."

On this day, not only reporters and Naver employees, but also citizens who came to welcome CEO Huang gathered at the Naver headquarters.
