On June 2, tvN confirmed that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang will guest on the hit Korean talk show You Quiz on the Block, hosted by Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho. According to CJ ENM, this will be the first time Jensen Huang has appeared on an entertainment talk show anywhere in the world.
CJ ENM executive Nam Seung-yong expressed excitement about the appearance, saying the program will explore Huang’s remarkable journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most influential figures in global technology.
The episode is expected to cover:
- His childhood and early struggles
- The creation and growth of NVIDIA
- His vision for the AI era
- Future talent and workforce trends
- Leadership lessons and personal philosophy
On June 6, the program shared recording-studio photos featuring Huang and host Yoo Jae Suk. Wearing his signature leather jacket, the NVIDIA chief sat beside Yoo with a bright smile.
One photo showed Huang placing a hand on Yoo Jae Suk’s shoulder while speaking to him, while another captured the pair laughing together. Their relaxed chemistry has increased curiosity about the conversation viewers will see in the upcoming episode.
The appearance comes as NVIDIA continues to play a central role in the global artificial intelligence boom, with the company widely recognized as one of the most valuable and influential firms in the world.
Huang has become especially popular among Korean audiences due to his frequent praise of South Korea’s role in the global AI ecosystem.
Over the years, he has also gained attention for embracing Korean culture and maintaining close relationships with major Korean business leaders.
In October 2025, Huang visited South Korea during the APEC Summit and held a highly publicized meeting with Lee Jae-yong and Chung Euisun. The gathering was widely nicknamed the “Kkanbu Meeting” by local media. Huang is expected to return to South Korea on June 4, approximately seven months after his previous visit.
Industry insiders anticipate that he will meet with executives from several major Korean companies beginning June 5, further strengthening partnerships related to semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and advanced technology development.
His upcoming visit has generated significant interest given NVIDIA’s influence on the global AI market and South Korea’s key position in the semiconductor supply chain.
While Huang is frequently seen delivering keynote speeches and participating in industry conferences, opportunities to see him in a relaxed entertainment setting are extremely rare.
Many viewers are eager to watch a more personal side of the tech leader as he shares stories about his life, career, and vision for the future.
The episode of You Quiz on the Block featuring Jensen Huang is scheduled to air later this month on tvN.
