Ask what Korea is talking about.

Korean outlets report that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected of spying for Beijing and of involvement in smuggling AI chips into China. The Korea Times says the U.S. suspects a Singapore-based company linked to her of smuggling AI microchips into China, and that U.S. intelligence officials have accused her of spying. Nvidia's board has opened an independent probe into whether Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, and the company's shares slid on Monday as his future at the chipmaker came under scrutiny, the Korea Times and Business Korea report. Korean reactions focus on the national security angle: the Korea Times frames the affair as a significant U.S. security concern and puts Korea on alert, while Hankyoreh asks whether it was a Chinese honey trap or simple infidelity. Business Korea notes adverse effects are reaching beyond Nvidia, and Koreaboo ties the scandal to a so-called 'Prada curse' on ambassadors.
