South Korea says Nvidia’s existing partnership commitments are unaffected by the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang, following reports that his personal role had helped underpin parts of the collaboration. The Ministry of Science and ICT met Nvidia officials shortly after Huang stepped down and reiterated that plans involving GPU supply to Korea and related projects are still proceeding.
While both outlets report the government’s message that the “as announced” cooperation remains intact, they also highlight lingering uncertainty. Both mention that remarks by Elon Musk and others point to the possibility that some cooperation may have depended on Huang’s personal verbal commitments rather than only formal arrangements. The framing differs slightly: one outlet foregrounds fears over a specific order size, while the other emphasizes the government’s confirmation that supply and broader collaboration—such as connecting Korean AI chips to Nvidia’s platform and building AI computing infrastructure—are on track.
Overall, the story centers on Seoul’s efforts to reassure partners and industry that the transition at Nvidia does not disrupt planned deliveries or ongoing work, even as public comments raise questions about what was contractually secured versus informally promised.
