## Key points

- South Korea expects contracted Nvidia GPU deliveries to proceed on schedule.
- 10,000 GPUs funded in 2025 have arrived and are in use.
- Nvidia’s board is investigating reports involving CEO Jensen Huang.

## Summary

South Korea says Nvidia GPU deliveries already under contract are expected to continue on schedule, despite a controversy involving chief executive Jensen Huang. The government’s assurance matters because the chips are part of the country’s plans to expand its AI infrastructure.

Deputy science minister Ryu Jemyung said 10,000 GPUs funded in a 2025 supplementary budget had arrived and were in use, while 2026 deliveries were contracted and expected to enter service this year. Nvidia’s board has opened an independent investigation into reports of a Chinese intelligence effort targeting Huang, but said it had no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised. Some events involving Huang’s daughter were cancelled, while a business agreement and Nvidia AI Day Seoul were still expected to proceed.
