Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who is visiting Korea, appeared on a Korean entertainment talk show for the first time in his life.
tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" released a short video of Huang's recording session through its official social network service Saturday.
In the video, Huang appeared in his trademark black leather jacket and lightly danced to "GOLDEN," the original soundtrack (OST) from the Netflix animation "K-Pop Demon Hunters," warming up the atmosphere on set.
In particular, he drew attention by revealing his exceptional fandom for K-pop and mentioning singer Hwasa. "I love Hwasa's music very much, and she is very charming," Huang said. He went on to mention Hwasa's new songs "So Cute" and "Good Goodbye," praising her as "an outstanding dancer with excellent vocal ability."
Host Yoo Jae-suk expressed surprise, asking, "You even know Hwasa's new songs?" before smiling and saying, "'So Cute' is going to be a hit again."
This is the first time Huang—a leading figure in the generative artificial intelligence (AI) revolution and founder of Nvidia, the world's largest company by market capitalization—has appeared on an entertainment program at home or abroad.
Huang is expected to share his views on the founding and growth of Nvidia, his insights into the AI era, and the qualities needed in future talent during the broadcast. The footage filmed that day will air Friday at 8:45 p.m.
