In a move already going viral, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang will appear on tvN’s variety show You Quiz on the Block (hereafter ‘You Quiz on the Block’), marking his first-ever variety show appearance anywhere in the world.
On the 2nd, tvN officially announced Huang’s guest spot. As one of the key figures steering the global AI industry, his decision to join a Korean variety program is unprecedented and is drawing massive attention.
Huang is the visionary who transformed NVIDIA from a graphics processing unit (GPU) company into a defining powerhouse of the AI era. Riding the wave of generative AI, he has put NVIDIA at the center of the global tech industry and is widely praised as both an executive and an innovator.
Huang’s growing connection to Korea has also been in the spotlight. He has repeatedly named Korea a crucial partner in the global AI ecosystem and has shown affection for Korean food and culture, winning over local fans. Last year, he made headlines after sharing a casual fried-chicken meetup in Seoul with Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Euisun.
Set to visit Korea on the 4th, Huang is expected to not only tape ‘You Quiz on the Block’ during his trip but also meet with leaders from major Korean companies.
The production team says the broadcast will take a deep dive into Huang’s success story and future vision. Nam Seung-yong, a CJ ENM management leader, said, “It will be a special time to hear about his fierce journey from a boy washing dishes to the CEO of a world-leading company, his insights that foresaw the AI era, and his views on future talent.”
All eyes are on what stories the tech industry heavyweight will share on air.
Meanwhile, Huang’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’ episode is scheduled to air later this month.
