NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is set to make his global entertainment talk show debut on a Korean program, where he will express his deep love for K-pop.
Ahead of its broadcast this Wednesday, June 10, tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' released a teaser for Jensen Huang's upcoming episode, sparking massive global interest.
The upcoming episode will delve into Jensen Huang's candid life story, which has rarely been shared elsewhere. Beyond his profound technological insights as a leader driving the AI era, the show will vividly capture his life journey of overcoming fierce challenges to carve out his own success story. He is also set to captivate viewers with his extraordinary interest and affection for K-culture, alongside an unexpected sense of humor.
Pre-released promotional content has already taken the internet by storm, proving the episode's overwhelming buzz. Fans were delighted to see Jensen Huang playfully dancing to "Golden," the theme song of 'KPop Demon Hunters,' and sharing his special connection to Korea, recalling, "Thirty years ago, I went to the Yongsan Electronics Market to hand out business cards and pitch our products."
In particular, teaser clips of him confessing his passionate fandom for Hwa Sa's music—stating, "I like Hwa Sa. I love 'Good Goodbye,' and her new song 'So Cute' is also great"—surpassed 11 million combined views online just two days after release. With such an explosive response to a short teaser, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch for his full appearance on the main broadcast.
During the recording, Jensen Huang also drew attention by showering MC Yu Jae-seok with high praise. He reportedly heated up the atmosphere on set by calling Yu Jae-seok the "MC Champion" without hesitation. Curiosity is mounting over why the leader of one of the world's most valuable companies by market capitalization offered such a special tribute to the host.
The production team of 'You Quiz' teased, "This broadcast will be a rich episode featuring Jensen Huang's signature energy and honesty, his unpredictable and highly entertaining sense of humor, and his great chemistry with MC Yu Jae-seok."
