South Korea’s procurement of Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) is proceeding without interruption, according to the country’s Deputy Minister of Science and ICT, Ryu Jemyung. Speaking before a parliamentary budget committee on Monday, Ryu said that 10,000 GPUs financed by the 2025 supplemental budget had already arrived and were in use. He added that GPUs scheduled for 2026 are under contract and are expected to enter service this year. “We expect the production and shipping schedule for the contracted units to continue without disruption,” Ryu said. He noted that the ministry is closely monitoring developments and is negotiating pricing and delivery timelines with Nvidia Korea. The announcement comes amid a broader controversy involving Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang. The company’s board has announced an independent investigation after reports that Huang was allegedly targeted by Chinese intelligence through a business relationship with Alice Huang. The board stated that there is no evidence that U.S. national security or company secrets have been compromised, and Huang has said he will cooperate fully with the inquiry. In Seoul, a planned visit by Madison Huang—Jensen Huang’s daughter and a senior executive at Nvidia—was cancelled. Korean AI startup Rebellions said the visit and a scheduled dinner were called off due to internal circumstances at Nvidia. Kakao Mobility also cancelled a photo session and a Q&A event with Nvidia, but said a business deal would proceed with senior director Gaurav Agarwal in place of Madison. Despite these developments, the two‑day Nvidia AI Day Seoul event, which attracted around 2,000 participants interested in physical AI, agentic AI, and infrastructure, is taking place as scheduled, according to Korean media. Nvidia has not yet responded to Reuters’ request for comment.
