SEOUL — Jensen Huang, the co-founder and CEO of NVIDIA, is set to make a highly anticipated and unprecedented appearance on the popular South Korean television talk show, You Quiz on the Block.

On June 7, the production team of the tvN variety show, hosted by the nation’s top comedian Yoo Jae-suk and comedian Jo Se-ho, surprised fans by releasing a teaser clip of the tech mogul on their official Instagram account.

A Tech Titan’s Playful Side
In the revealed footage, Huang made a striking entrance wearing his signature black leather jacket, instantly radiating his familiar, high-energy persona. Proving he is just as comfortable under the entertainment spotlight as he is at global tech keynotes, the CEO lightly danced to the track "Golden," an OST from the Netflix animated film K-Pop: Demon Hunters.

The show’s production team added a witty caption to the post, referencing recent rumors of his tight schedule:

"Jensen Huang’s real-time shooting is complete! He couldn't make it to the third-round afterparty at the karaoke room yesterday, so he came to You Quiz instead."
Beyond the playful banter, Huang showcased his deep appreciation for K-pop during the recording. He specifically expressed immense admiration for the Korean diva Hwasa.

"I absolutely love Hwasa's music; she is incredibly charming," Huang said during the interview. He went on to praise her exceptional talent, specifically mentioning her latest single "So Cute" alongside her previous hit "Good Goodbye." He added, "She is an extraordinarily talented dancer and possesses magnificent vocal ability."

From Dishwasher to Tech Pioneer
This television appearance marks a historic milestone, as it is the first time the tech billionaire has agreed to appear on a mainstream entertainment variety show, either domestically or internationally. As the leader of the company driving the global artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, Huang’s decision to step into the world of Korean variety television is viewed as a highly unconventional and rare move.

According to CJ ENM, the entertainment conglomerate behind tvN, the upcoming episode will delve deep into Huang’s inspiring life story, his business philosophy, and his vision for the future.

"Viewers will get to hear the fierce life story and profound insights of a man who started as a young boy washing dishes and rose to become the CEO of the world’s most valuable company," a CJ ENM representative stated.

What to Expect in the Upcoming Episode
During the broadcast, Huang is expected to share intimate details about the founding and rapid growth of NVIDIA, which has become the backbone of the global AI boom. Additionally, he will provide his expert insights into the rapidly evolving AI era and discuss the qualities required for the next generation of global leaders.

The highly anticipated episode featuring NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is scheduled to air on tvN this coming Wednesday, June 10, at 8:45 PM KST.
