For one Friday night, Hongdae wasn’t Seoul’s trendiest neighborhood. It was Jensen Huang’s stage.
The Nvidia chief executive landed in Seoul and promptly set the district ablaze — not with hyper-powered graphic-processing units, but with pork belly, fried chicken and a gathering so unusual that it felt like an AI-era summit disguised as a chaotic night out.

NVDIA stock new customer farming.
meeting esports stars while bailing on gaming. exactly my humour…
Nvidea sold out gamers for invasive AI dogshit. I don’t hate the man, but I don’t admire him any more than any other ruthlessly profit driven CEO.
He wants to enjoy Seoul just like a usual trip. Let him be!
Bro is everywhere but at his company
Lmao that flash was going 30fps
The AI bubble right there.
Mania? Do people actually like him?
Electric bills and cost of living will sweep our wallets too if we keep these dudes to plant datacenters for useless AI wherever they want. Also what a horrible thing that DLSS 5.0 was with the yassified version of derpy faces…
His company must really be in trouble ….he has been on media tour for 4 months
