"To be great, you must endure hardship."
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, will share his life philosophy that "failure is growth" on the tvN program 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter 'You Quiz'), which airs today (June 10).
'You Quiz' marks his first-ever appearance on an entertainment variety show, both domestically and internationally.
During the broadcast, CEO Huang recounts his cinematic life journey—from a boy who immigrated to the United States at age 9 and worked as a dishwasher, to becoming the CEO of a company with a market capitalization of approximately 8 quadrillion won.
He reflects on the crisis Nvidia faced when it was just 30 days away from bankruptcy, recalls the days he personally visited the Yongsan Electronics Market to hand out his business cards, and shares the special bond he has formed while growing alongside Korea.
He also responds to questions sent via video by past 'You Quiz' guests, sharing a story about "losing all his assets in stocks," and offers his views on the ideal talent for the artificial intelligence (AI) era.
He also offers advice, stating, "Whatever you do, you must give it your 100 percent."
Having drawn attention during his recent two visits to Korea for his "Kkanbu meeting" and "Samso meeting" with leaders of major domestic conglomerates, he also participates in a "balance game" where he is asked to choose the closest friend among Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Euisun Chung, and SK Chairman Chey Tae-won.
The production team explained that the episode will also capture his human side, as he reveals the love story of how he "flirted" with his wife by giving her homework during their college years, confesses his "fan heart" for singer Hwasa, and dances to the original soundtrack (OST) "Golden" from 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.'
CEO Huang dubbed Yoo Jae-suk, with whom he conversed on the show, the "MC Champion," while Yoo referred to him as "Hyung-nim" (an affectionate term for an older brother).
