Imagine dining at a Seoul fried chicken joint and suddenly finding three billionaires sitting beside you and paying your bill! That’s exactly what happened at Kkanbu Chicken, where Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong, and Hyundai’s Chung Eui-sun were present.
Billionaire CEOs Surprise Diners
The trio enjoyed chimaek, Korea’s famous combination of fried chicken and beer. They also relished cheese balls, soju, and Terra beer. Huang charmed onlookers, sharing food and laughter before ringing the restaurant’s “golden bell,” signalling he’d pay for everyone. But in a friendly twist, Samsung’s Lee covered the bill while Hyundai’s Chung paid for a second round. Their cheerful evening came right before serious talks at the APEC Summit in Gyeongju.
Huang Announces Major Partnership
During the summit, Huang met President Lee Jae Myung and announced Nvidia’s plan to supply 260,000 GPUs to Korean companies. He also revealed collaborations with Samsung, Hyundai, Naver, and SK to advance “Physical AI.”
