Nvidia CEO affair fallout deepens as market sheds billions

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected of spying for China and of smuggling AI chips into the country, according to KBS World and Korea Times reports. U.S. intelligence officials have accused Alice Huang of involvement in a "foreign intelligence effort," with Korea Times describing the case as a potential "honey trap" that has put Korea on alert. The scandal has hit Nvidia's market value, with Korea Times reporting the company is on track to lose more than $470 billion over two sessions, while Business Korea says the U.S. is tightening tech curbs on China in response. Korean outlets are framing the affair as a national security concern, with Hankyoreh questioning whether it was a "Chinese honey trap, or simple infidelity." Koreaboo has drawn parallels to the "Prada curse," noting how brand ambassadors have faced controversies, while Korea Times reports Huang remains a beloved figure in Seoul and Taipei, mobbed by fans for autographs.
