Huang's Exit Shakes Korean Chip Investors

Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO on Thursday after 33 years, amid an affair with a suspected Chinese spy and a second relationship with a female executive, with reports of a third intimate relationship with another employee. The scandal has rattled South Korea: Nvidia is the second-most-held U.S. stock among Korean investors, and its falling shares have unnerved them, while the national pension fund has been hit. Business Korea reports the exit puts Samsung Electronics and SK hynix at a crossroads, and Yonhap says Nvidia confirmed planned GPU supply to South Korea despite the resignation. Korean media note a Korean star, Hwang Young Jin, gave a witty explanation after being caught up in the aftermath.
