"Go, 코리아!"...삼겹살·치킨까지 '불금' 즐긴 젠슨 황 / YTN

[Anchor] NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, who visited Korea, heated up the Hongdae area with a samgyeopsal (pork belly) gathering with top business leaders, including SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won. At an unscheduled second stop at a chicken restaurant, his wife and even his daughter's fiancé joined in to enjoy a Korean Friday night together. Reporter Park Ki-wan summarizes the story. [Reporter] Cheers erupted as NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang appeared at Hongdae Station in Seoul, wearing his trademark black leather jacket. Welcoming CEO Huang were SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin. The table was set with samgyeopsal and ribeye steak. Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, the youngest of the group, personally grilled the meat and faithfully played the role of the youngest member, refilling water glasses and handing out napkins whenever needed. [Koo Kwang-mo / LG Group Chairman: (Did you play the youngest member well?) I grilled the meat diligently.] When Chairman Lee Hae-jin taught him how to make Korean-style ssam wraps, CEO Huang followed suit. He also personally made "Somaek," a mixture of soju and beer, just as the restaurant owner had instructed. Jensen Huang raised his glass while shouting "Go Korea" as a toast. Furthermore, during the meeting, he readily obliged citizens' requests for photos and autographs, leaving a lasting impression of his friendly demeanor, just as he did at last year's Kkanbu meeting. Once again standing before the citizens holding a gift bag, Jensen Huang displayed his signature showmanship by handing out representative Korean snacks, including glutinous rice donuts, twisted donuts, and sikhye. [Jensen Huang / NVIDIA CEO: (Our) business is succeeding explosively. Bang! Just like a PC bang, bang!] Jokes also followed regarding the "HBM chip," which is essentially SK Hynix's HBM turned into a snack. [Choi Tae-won / SK Group Chairman: This HBM (chip) is for you.] [Jensen Huang / NVIDIA CEO: I need more HBM.] After a pork belly gathering that lasted over two hours, Chairman Lee Hae-jin paid the bill via Naver Pay, covering the share of everyone else in the restaurant as well. [Jensen Huang / NVIDIA CEO: Chairman Lee Hae-jin paid for every table here.] Afterward, the four headed to an unscheduled second location: a chicken restaurant. Sharing whiskey in the presence of not only his daughter Madison Huang but also his wife and future son-in-law, they solidified a bond of friendship that went beyond mere business partnership. In high spirits, CEO Huang expressed his hope that his visit would also boost the stock prices of partner companies. The bustling streets of Hongdae Station were buzzing with people eager to catch a glimpse of Jensen Huang, filling the area with crowds larger than usual for a Friday. Jensen Huang has promised to reunite with Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and Chairman Lee Hae-jin at the LG and Naver headquarters on the 8th. This is Park Ki-wan from YTN.
