Jensen Huang’s “The Most Important Thing Is Humanity” Remark on You Quiz Draws Attention After Affair Admission

[Financial News]  NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a woman suspected of being a spy for Chinese intelligence and apologized to his family and employees. His remarks are drawing renewed attention, as he spoke about meeting his wife for the first time and emphasized the importance of humanity on a Korean variety show last June.
According to the UK’s Financial Times (FT), U.S. media and others on the 9th, Huang admitted in an internal message sent to employees on the 8th (local time) that he had not been faithful to his wife and had hurt her and their children through his actions. He apologized to his family and employees and said there was no excuse for what he had done.
The FT previously reported that U.S. intelligence agencies believe Huang and Alice Huang (Chinese name: Huang Le), an executive at Singaporean data center company Megaspeed International, were romantically involved. U.S. authorities have also investigated allegations that Alice Huang was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) and tried to obtain information about U.S. artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors through Huang.
What Huang admitted to, however, was an extramarital relationship. The allegations that Alice Huang was connected to Chinese intelligence and the question of whether information related to national security was leaked are separate matters that cannot be confirmed based solely on information made public so far.
NVIDIA’s board has launched an investigation involving independent directors and outside legal experts. The company said there was currently no basis to believe national security or NVIDIA’s confidential information had been compromised, but that it would investigate the relevant information. Huang also said he would cooperate with the investigation.

Huang’s remarks from a past Korean broadcast, in which he spoke about meeting his wife for the first time and emphasized the importance of humanity, are also drawing attention as he admits to an affair.
On You Quiz on the Block, which aired on tvN on June 10, Huang told the story of how he first met his wife, Lori Huang, in college. He had entered college at 17 and approached his wife, who was two years older, offering to show her his homework. He proposed that if they studied together every weekend, he would help her get an A in every subject.
Huang said this gave him the chance to go on a date with his wife every week. The couple married after graduating from college and have reportedly remained married for more than 40 years.
During that visit to Korea, his wife and eldest daughter, Madison Huang, were also spotted at the broadcast recording venue. Huang was accompanied by his family at the recording held on June 6 at the Korea Furniture Museum in Seoul’s Seongbuk District.
On the program, Huang also named “humanity” as a quality he considered important in prospective employees. When Yoo Jae-suk asked what he valued in the hiring process, Huang replied, “The most important thing is humanity.” He added, “If you’re looking for people to work with, you should look for people who know how to give,” emphasizing that generous and kind people are valuable hires.


About five months after speaking about his long relationship with his wife and emphasizing the importance of consideration for others, Huang admitted to an extramarital relationship and publicly apologized.
In his apology, Huang said that his family had given him love and support throughout his life, but that he had betrayed their trust. He also said that his wife and children bore no responsibility for his choices and asked that their privacy be respected.
Meanwhile, national security concerns surrounding Huang’s relationship with Alice Huang have also been raised in the U.S. Congress. Three Republican House standing committee chairs wrote to Huang on the 4th, asking him to attend a closed-door briefing on the 18th to explain the allegations and NVIDIA’s security measures.
