Captured from Nvidia&#8217;s official YouTube.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Naver (035420.KS) shares surged on news of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang&#8217;s planned visit to Korea, fueling expectations of deeper cooperation between the two companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">The stock closed at 271,500 won on Monday, up 16.03%, or 37,500 won, from the previous trading day, according to the Korea Exchange. Shares briefly soared as much as 29.91% during the session to 304,000 won, near the daily upper limit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Naver shares had slipped to the 190,000 won range on Nov. 27 but jumped 14.15% on Nov. 29 amid speculation about Huang&#8217;s visit and partnership expectations, before extending the rally on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Naver, which had been relatively sidelined in the AI semiconductor rally led by Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, is emerging as a so-called &#8220;Jensen Huang beneficiary stock,&#8221; following LG Group and Doosan Group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Huang will attend Computex 2026, Asia&#8217;s largest information technology exhibition, which opens in Taipei, Taiwan, on Tuesday. At the &#8220;Korea Partner Night&#8221; held during the event, major Korean companies including Naver, Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Hyundai Motor Group, LG Electronics and Doosan are scheduled to meet with Huang.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">After Computex wraps up, Huang is expected to travel to Korea this week and visit Naver&#8217;s headquarters on Dec. 8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">According to the IT industry on Monday, Huang is currently coordinating with Naver to visit the company&#8217;s &#8220;1784&#8221; headquarters in Bundang, Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, during his trip. Huang is also reported to meet with Naver Founder and Board Chairman Lee Hae-jin on Dec. 5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">The 1784 building is regarded as a space that brings together Naver&#8217;s future technologies, including robotics, cloud computing and digital twins. In March, AMD CEO Lisa Su visited the site in person to meet with Naver CEO Choi Soo-yeon and discuss AI infrastructure cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Euisun and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hold a chicken-and-beer meeting. - Seoul Economic Daily Finance News from South Korea\" title=\"Naver Shares Surge as Nvidia's Jensen Huang Eyes Visit to Korea HQ\" fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full h-auto rounded-sm\" style=\"color:transparent;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1780701931_670_news-p.v1.20260209.7aa97b3ab59b4310adc1a7e3a4077ed2_P1.jpg\"\/>Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Euisun and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hold a chicken-and-beer meeting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">The industry sees that, if the meeting takes place, cooperation could expand across the broader artificial intelligence ecosystem, including AI infrastructure, sovereign AI and physical AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Indeed, Huang directly mentioned Naver Cloud in his keynote speech at Nvidia&#8217;s annual technology event &#8220;Nvidia GTC,&#8221; held one day before the opening of Computex.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Huang highlighted the partnership by placing a heart (\u2665) image between the Nvidia and Naver Cloud logos on the presentation screen. The screen also featured the Bank of Korea, the Ministry of Science and ICT, Korea Hydro &amp; Nuclear Power, Hyundai Motor Group, HD Hyundai and Hanwha Aerospace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-[var(--color-text)] leading-relaxed\">Market observers interpret the move as a sign that Naver is strengthening its position as a key partner within Nvidia&#8217;s AI ecosystem. However, Naver said regarding Huang&#8217;s visit schedule, &#8220;We cannot confirm it at this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Nov. 1 local time, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang displays an &#8220;Nvidia\u2665Naver Cloud&#8221; caption on screen while explaining&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43221,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[623],"tags":[22885,2504,21122,11825,657,944,2295,4224],"class_list":["post-43220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-naver","tag-1784-headquarters","tag-ai-semiconductor","tag-computex-2026","tag-jensen-huang","tag-naver","tag-naver-cloud","tag-nvidia","tag-sovereign-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43220"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43220\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
