Ask what Korea is talking about.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected of working as a spy for the Chinese government, and the company's board has opened an investigation into whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, Korea Times reports. The scandal, first reported by The New York Times, has put Huang's future at the AI chipmaker under scrutiny, with Nvidia shares declining on Monday amid the internal probe. U.S. intelligence officials allege Alice Huang passed information to Beijing, and the affair has emerged as a significant national security concern for the United States, according to Korea Times. The scandal has also drawn attention to how China obtains Nvidia chips, with reports of a Singapore-based company suspected of smuggling AI microchips into China, and to President Donald Trump's close ties with Huang, which are now under renewed scrutiny. Korean media are treating the case as a major security and market issue: Business Korea reports that the "Jensen Huang risk" is fanning uncertainty in Korea's chip industry, and that the global automaker industry is also closely watching the fallout. KBS World notes Huang admitted the affair in a statement on Sunday, with Nvidia's board of directors responding. Korean outlets frame the scandal as a "honey trap" that puts Korea on alert, given the country's reliance on Nvidia chips for its AI semiconductor ecosystem.
