South Korea Says Nvidia Issues Won't Affect Contracted GPU Supplies
Reuters reported on November 9 that South Korea expects contracted deliveries of Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) to proceed without disruption despite a controversy surrounding the chipmaker's chief executive Jensen Huang, according to the country's deputy science minister.
Vice Minister of Science and ICT Ryu Jemyung told a parliamentary budget committee on Monday that 10,000 GPUs funded under a 2025 supplementary budget had already arrived and were in use. GPUs planned for 2026 were under contract and expected to enter service this year, he said.
Reuters reported that Nvidia's board said on Sunday it had opened an independent investigation following reports concerning its chief executive. News of the controversy coincided with the cancellation of a visit to South Korea by Madison Huang, an Nvidia senior director and the chief executive's daughter. South Korean AI startup Rebellions said her planned visit to its headquarters and a partner dinner were cancelled because of unavoidable internal circumstances at Nvidia.
According to South Korean media cited by Reuters, Nvidia AI Day Seoul, a two-day event expected to draw about 2,000 participants to discuss physical AI, agentic AI and infrastructure, was proceeding as planned. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
