Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang visits South Korea for executive meetings, baseball appearance, and TV talk show, underscoring the country's role in AI chip memory supply.

Jensen Huang, Nvidia's 63-year-old CEO, is making his second visit to South Korea in seven months this week. The visit includes meetings with top memory chip and robotics executives, a first pitch at a baseball game, and an appearance on a TV talk show.

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix together produce about 70% of the memory needed for AI chips like Nvidia's. South Korea's strength in manufacturing and robotics positions it as a key player in physical AI, where AI is embedded in robots, cars, and factories.

The charm push by Huang highlights South Korea's critical position in the AI landscape and its importance to Nvidia's business.
