Huang affair scandal rocks Nvidia, Korea watches closely

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected of being a Chinese spy, prompting the company's board to launch a probe into whether he was targeted by foreign intelligence, Korea Times and KBS World report. The scandal has cast a shadow over Nvidia's partnerships in Korea, where industry officials worry it could affect the U.S. AI chipmaker's local ties. Nvidia shares slid Monday amid the internal investigation, and U.S. President Donald Trump said Huang had "no idea" his lover was an alleged spy, adding that Huang was "suffering greatly." China's foreign ministry dismissed the "so-called Chinese spy narrative" as unsubstantiated. In Korea, Huang's past TV appearance with his wife has resurfaced, drawing renewed attention to his comments about her amid the affair allegations. Korean fans have long mobbed Huang for autographs on the streets of Seoul, reflecting his celebrity status in the AI industry, but the controversy now puts his personal life in the spotlight.
