Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will dine with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won Sunday evening at the same Seoul chicken restaurant where he met the heads of Samsung and Hyundai last October.

The two are scheduled to meet at 7 p.m. at a Kkanbu Chicken outlet in Samseong-dong, Gangnam District, southern Seoul, where they will be joined by senior executives from both companies, including the heads of SK hynix and SK Telecom. The group is expected to discuss cooperation in AI infrastructure, including AI chips and digital twins.

It is the same restaurant where Huang shared fried chicken and beer, a pairing Koreans call "chimaek," with Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung last October.

The dinner is part of Huang's first trip to Korea since that visit. He and Chey also dined together on Friday, joining other business leaders at a Korean barbecue restaurant near Hongik University Station in Mapo district, western Seoul.
