Nvidia CEO, billionaire Jensen Huang, visited Seoul on 5/6, seven months after a previous casual fried chicken meal with leaders from Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor Group.
During this visit, Mr. Huang again garnered attention by having a barbecue dinner with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Naver leader Lee Hae-jin.

They dined at a restaurant named "Hey, buddy, come here", a choice signaling a desire to strengthen relationships with Korean business partners. During the meal, this message was highlighted by a "somaek" (a mix of soju and beer) toast, with Mr. Huang raising his glass and saying, "Go Korea, go SK, go LG, and go Naver."

Afterwards, billionaire Huang and the Korean business leaders distributed banana milk and snacks to the people gathered outside to observe their meeting. Naver Chairman Lee paid for the meal and also covered the cost for all other patrons in the restaurant.
During his Seoul visit last October, Mr. Huang dined with leaders from Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor Group at Kkanbu chicken restaurant, a name meaning "very close friends". At the time, the Nvidia CEO stated that the location symbolized his friendship with these two business leaders.
