Chips, Pork Belly, and Hwasa: NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Steals the Show on ‘You Quiz’
When you think of the tech world’s multi-billionaire elite, you probably imagine stiff boardrooms and complex AI algorithms. But the leather-jacket-loving king of tech just proved he’s more plugged into pop culture than anyone could have guessed. The highly anticipated Jensen Huang You Quiz on the Block appearance has officially aired, and the tech mogul has completely charmed the internet with his surprising love for K-culture.
During the latest episode of tvN’s hit talk show You Quiz on the Block, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang sat down with hosts Yoo Jae-suk and Jo Se-ho to talk about everything from artificial intelligence to his secret late-night Korean foodie adventures.
Grilling Pork Belly with Tech Royalty
Before diving into the tech talk, the hosts couldn’t help but ask about Huang’s viral pre-shooting hangout. It turns out that right before the cameras rolled, Huang was busy enjoying a quintessential Korean dining experience. And his dining partner? None other than LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo.
“KM (Chairman Koo) took on the role of grilling the meat, while I focused on the role of eating it,” Huang joked on the show, reminiscing about their pork belly (samgyeopsal) and soju feast. “It was my very first time trying samgyeopsal, and it was absolutely delicious!” Seeing two of the world’s most powerful tech minds casually debating over who flips the pork belly is the exact kind of wholesome content we didn’t know we needed.
The AI Genius is Officially a Hwasa Stan
But the biggest plot twist of the night came when the conversation shifted to Korean music and entertainment. When asked if he followed any aspects of K-culture, the NVIDIA chief didn’t hesitate to profess his admiration for a certain K-pop queen.
As it turns out, the Jensen Huang You Quiz interview revealed that he is a massive fan of Mamamoo’s Hwasa! Huang shared that he absolutely loves Hwasa’s song “So Cute” and named the track “Golden” from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack as his absolute favorite. He went on to praise the unstoppable global reach of Korean culture, highlighting K-beauty and K-chicken as major global strengths driven by the passion of Korea’s youth.
Upon hearing this unexpected shoutout, host Yoo Jae-suk immediately erupted into laughter, shouting, “Hwasa? Hwasa, you’ve made it big again!” celebrating as if it were his own achievement.
From driving the global AI revolution to jamming out to K-pop and eating crispy pork belly, Jensen Huang is proving that billionaires really do know how to have fun.
