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, prompting the company's board to open an independent probe into whether he was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, according to KBS World and Korea Times reports. The New York Times reported on Oct. 29 that U.S. intelligence had assessed a Chinese executive at a Singapore-based data center company who had maintained close contact with Huang as a Chinese intelligence asset, and House Republicans have requested a closed-door briefing with him. China's foreign ministry called the 'so-called Chinese spy narrative' unsubstantiated. In Korea, the scandal is stirring anxiety: Business Korea reports that the 'Jensen Huang Risk' is fanning uncertainty in the Korean chip sector, which relies heavily on Nvidia's AI semiconductor ecosystem, and Korea Times notes industry officials worry the controversy could affect Nvidia's Korea partnerships. Huang's past TV appearance with his wife has also resurfaced in Korean media, drawing renewed attention amid the affair admission.
