Jensen Huang and Chey Tae-won's daughters are also 'kkanbu'... Their AI alliance has extended to the next generation

[The Financial News] The "AI alliance" between SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang is drawing attention in business circles as it has extended to exchanges between their children.
According to business circles on the 8th, Chey Yoon-chung, the eldest daughter of Chairman Chey and head of strategy at SK Biopharmaceuticals, also attended the meeting between Chey and Huang at a Kkanbu Chicken store in Gangnam District, Seoul, the previous day. Madison Huang, a senior director at NVIDIA, and her fiancé were also reportedly present.
After Huang left the venue around 8 p.m., Chey visited the store with her husband and spent about an hour chatting over chicken and beer with Madison Huang, the senior director, sources said.

This was not the first meeting between the two. They first connected in February at a Korean fried chicken restaurant in Silicon Valley, where the two families' fathers met for the first time. They then met again in Seoul during Huang's latest visit to South Korea.


Chey, born in 1989, and Madison Huang, born in 1990, are regarded as next-generation business talents of a similar age. They also share a common background in that Chey is in charge of future growth initiatives at SK Biopharmaceuticals, while Huang oversees future growth businesses and global strategy at NVIDIA.

Madison Huang is responsible for global product marketing at NVIDIA, while Chey handles new drug development strategy, global investment, and partnership expansion at SK Biopharmaceuticals.
Business circles say that as SK Group and NVIDIA continue their close partnership centered on high bandwidth memory (HBM), the trust built between the two CEOs is naturally expanding into exchanges among the next generation of leaders.
An industry source said, "The AI partnership built by Chairman Chey and CEO Huang is also extending into a network between the second-generation executives," adding, "In the long term, it could become an opportunity to strengthen synergies between the two companies' future businesses."
