Huang Resigns as Nvidia CEO Amid Affair Scandals

Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of Nvidia, the company he co-founded 33 years ago, amid controversy over an affair with a suspected Chinese spy and allegations of another extramarital relationship, KBS World reports. The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia's board was preparing to oust him after two extramarital affairs, and Reuters learned he had an intimate relationship with a second employee, according to Korea Times. Nvidia shed about $430 billion in market value over two sessions as questions deepened about his relationship with a Chinese businesswoman alleged to be a spy, Korea Times reports. He has been summoned to testify before US lawmakers, and the board has approached Arm CEO Rene Haas as a potential successor, while President Donald Trump suggested Tim Cook should replace him. In Taiwan, where Huang was adored like a rock star, his image is now tainted after the FBI began an investigation, Korea Times reports. Korean media also note that a Korean star, Hwang Young Jin, gave a witty explanation after getting caught up in the aftermath of the scandal, according to Koreaboo.
