Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, the world's most valuable company by market capitalization, stepped in front of the cameras of a Korean variety show. The "Silicon Valley titan" who holds dominance in artificial intelligence (AI) chips, wearing his trademark leather jacket, showed an unpretentious side by dancing to "Golden," a song by the group Huntr/x from the Netflix animation "K-Pop Demon Hunters."
On Monday, the team behind tvN's variety show "You Quiz on the Block" released photos from the recording site on its official Instagram along with a post reading "Jensen Huang♥You Quiz." In the photos, Huang sits across from host Yoo Jae-suk, talking, while Yoo smiles broadly. A following photo also captured Huang casually placing his hand on Yoo's shoulder, drawing interest over what the two might have discussed.
The production team also posted a video with the message, "The third-round noraebang we couldn't make yesterday, we came to it through 'You Quiz.'" The video, which captured Huang energetically moving to the rhythm of "Golden," drew attention. The episode of "You Quiz on the Block" featuring him airs October 10.
Meanwhile, Huang held a dinner meeting on Sunday evening in Hongdae, Seoul, with heads of major Korean companies, including SK Group Chairman Tae-won Choi, Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chairman Euisun Chung, LG Group Chairman Kwang-mo Koo, and Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin. Observers suggest that cooperation plans surrounding AI chip demand may have been discussed.
He is also broadening his points of contact with the public. Huang is scheduled to take the mound as the ceremonial first-pitch thrower ahead of the game between the Doosan Bears and the Kiwoom Heroes at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul at 5 p.m. on Tuesday.
