"And all of my partners in Korea had a very good year this year. So I want to go congratulate them, thank them, and also prepare for the second half of this year. It's going to be very busy and next year is going to be incredibly busy."

:: Huang said he would go to South Korea next after Taiwan, where he was born and has rockstar status

HUANG: "We always consider investments in Korea. Such a great, such a great, such a great ecosystem. Really smart companies. Very technical. The ecosystem the economy is growing so well. Right? And Nvidia is a big part of the growth of the economy. And so I'm very happy about that."

SK Hynix CEO Kwak Noh-Jung, executives from Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and Naver were among those at the "Korean Partner Night," held at a traditional Taiwanese restaurant in Taipei on the sidelines of the Computex trade show.

Huang went from table to table toasting guests to chants of "Jensen, Jensen!" as dozens of fans and reporters waited outside, briefly bringing traffic to a standstill when he arrived.

Huang typically holds such dinners for Taiwanese suppliers like chipmaker TSMC when he is in town, but Monday's event was the first dedicated to Korean partners during his Taipei visit.
