Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia, will appear on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," marking his first appearance on an entertainment talk show.

tvN said Monday that an episode featuring Huang is set to air sometime in June. Industry sources said Huang is scheduled to visit South Korea this week.

Huang is widely credited with transforming Nvidia from a graphics chip company into a central player of the generative AI era. Regarded as an architect who reshaped the technology industry, he is also well known for his affinity for South Korea.

At major public events, Huang has consistently described South Korea as a key partner in the global AI ecosystem, and he has shown a genuine fondness for Korean culture — including its food.

Most recently, Huang visited South Korea last October for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Gyeongju, where a dinner with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Euisun Chung at a fried chicken restaurant drew wide attention, becoming known as the "Gganbu meeting."

Nam Seung-yong, a management leader at CJ ENM, said the company was "delighted to have 'You Quiz' be part of Jensen Huang's remarkable journey," adding that viewers could look forward to hearing his life story — from a boy who washed dishes to the CEO of the world's most valuable company by market cap — along with his insights into the AI era and his vision for the talent the future demands.
