[Financial News] As Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang faces fallout after admitting to an affair, his past embrace with broadcaster Shin A-young during a visit to Korea, as well as his admiration for singer Hwasa, is being revisited.
Jensen Huang attended the GeForce Gamer Festival, held last October at K-pop Plaza in COEX, Gangnam District, Seoul.
At the time, Huang exchanged brief greetings onstage with Lee Jae-yong, chairman of Samsung Electronics, then headed straight to MC Shin A-young. He was soon seen embracing her.
The day after the event, Shin A-young also posted a photo of herself with Huang on her social media account, confirming their meeting.
Huang’s public admiration for singer Hwasa also became a topic of renewed interest. Appearing on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block, which aired last June, he mentioned K-pop as music he regularly enjoys listening to. In particular, he caught people’s attention when he said, “I really love Hwasa’s music. It’s very captivating.”
The controversy arose from foreign media reports that Huang had an inappropriate relationship with a woman suspected of having ties to Chinese intelligence agencies.
Huang reportedly admitted and apologized for being unfaithful to his wife in a letter sent to Nvidia employees on the 8th (local time). He was also reported to have said that his actions had hurt his wife and children and that he felt a deep sense of responsibility.
