Huang, Lee, Chung Surprise Seoul Fried‑Chicken Visit

On Thursday evening in Seoul’s Gangnam district, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Samsung chairman Lee Jae‑yong and Hyundai executive chair Chung Eui‑sun stopped at Kkanbu Chicken for chimaek on the eve of the APEC summit. They linked arms for a toast, handed out chicken to onlookers, and rang the restaurant’s “golden bell” to signal they would pay everyone’s bill—Yonhap reported that Lee picked up the tab and Chung paid for a second round. Huang mingled with fans and livestreamed the outing, creating a viral “Jensanity” moment that drew hundreds of spectators and wide social‑media coverage. The highly publicized meetup boosted shares of fried‑chicken chains and led to sell‑outs at some Kkanbu locations, and the casual gathering added a media‑friendly note to APEC diplomacy while spotlighting potential AI‑chip and industry partnerships.
