Huang scandal shakes Nvidia's Korea ties, global AI race

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's admission of an affair with a woman suspected of ties to Chinese intelligence has triggered global fallout, with the company's board probing whether he was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort, Korea Times reports. U.S. President Donald Trump said Huang had "no idea" the woman was an alleged spy and was "suffering greatly," while Nvidia shares slid on Monday amid scrutiny of his future at the AI chipmaker. In Korea, the controversy is raising concerns among industry officials that it could affect the U.S. AI semiconductor ecosystem and Nvidia's partnerships with Korean firms, Business Korea reports. Korean fans who once mobbed Huang for autographs on the streets of Seoul are now watching the scandal spread "like wildfire," with his past TV appearance with his wife resurfacing and drawing renewed attention, according to Korea Times and Business Korea coverage.
