Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who chose a PC café as his first stop upon arriving in Korea on Wednesday, visited another PC café Friday. Huang went to the Sinnonhyeon Station branch of Optimum Zone PC Café in Seoul's Gangnam district that afternoon to meet with Chang Byung-gyu, chairman of Krafton.

Also attending the meeting were Krafton Chief AI Officer (CAIO) Lee Kang-wook and Jang Tae-seok, head of "PUBG: Battlegrounds," among others. The discussions reportedly covered physical artificial intelligence (AI) development and cooperation in hardware areas, including Nvidia's "RTX Spark" PC.

In addition, Krafton prepared an event for "Battlegrounds" YouTubers and internet broadcasters at the PC café for the meeting with Huang that day.

After completing his schedule with Krafton, Huang moved to another nearby "Portal PC Café" to meet with NCSoft CEO Kim Taek-jin.

Earlier, immediately after arriving at Gimpo International Airport on Wednesday, Huang visited the "T1 Base Camp" in Hongdae, where he met directly with the team including T1's "Faker" Lee Sang-hyeok and Korean gaming fans to strengthen ties.
