Huang admits affair, Nvidia probes spy claims

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has admitted to an extramarital affair with Alice Huang, a businesswoman suspected of working as a spy for the Chinese government, and Nvidia's board said Sunday it is probing whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, KBS World and Korea Times report. The scandal has wiped about $430 billion off Nvidia's market value over two sessions, and a shareholder has sued the company and Huang, accusing them of deceiving investors in their responses to media reports, Korea Times reports. U.S. President Donald Trump said Huang had "no idea" the woman was an alleged spy and was "suffering greatly," Korea Times reports. Korean media coverage focuses on the national security angle, with Korea Times reporting the affair has put Korea on alert over a possible "honey trap," and Business Korea reporting allegations that AI chips worth about 11 trillion won ($7.5 billion) were diverted to China through Huang's personal connections. The documents do not mention any apology from Huang.
