Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who headed straight to a PC cafe on his first day in Korea, will visit another PC cafe Friday. The aim is to meet NCSOFT CEO Kim Taek-jin and game users.
According to NCSOFT, Huang will visit the "Portal PC Cafe" near Sinnonhyeon Station in Seoul on Friday afternoon for a meeting with Kim. Huang is expected to discuss cooperation in gaming and AI with Kim, and the two will appear together before game fans gathered at the PC cafe to hold a brief event.
NCSOFT will hold a "Surprise Live" event at the PC cafe that afternoon, with key developers of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) "Aion 2" in attendance, to introduce future update plans. During the event, Huang and Kim will appear directly on the "Aion 2" live broadcast streamed online.
NCSOFT showcased "Aion 2," which was nearing release, alongside its next title "Cinder City" at the GeForce Gamer Festival held in Seoul last October. At its launch, "Aion 2" applied Nvidia's latest technologies, "DLSS Frame Generation" and "Nvidia Reflex."
Ahead of his meeting with Kim, Huang will hold a meeting with Krafton Chairman Chang Byung-gyu at an undisclosed location in Seoul, where they will discuss various areas including physical AI and chipset supply.
On Saturday, Huang plans to visit LG Electronics headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, followed by Hyundai Motor headquarters in Yangjae and Naver's 1784 building in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province, in succession.
Huang is also reported to hold a closed-door meeting with domestic robotics and AI startups including Upstage to discuss cooperation on AI infrastructure.
