Seoul:A planned visit to South Korea by Madison Huang, a senior director at Nvidia Corp. and the daughter of CEO Jensen Huang, has been abruptly canceled, sources revealed.
According to Yonhap News Agency, Madison Huang was scheduled to visit South Korea on Sunday to attend the "Nvidia AI Day Seoul 2026" event, which is set for Monday and Tuesday at the COEX exhibition center in southern Seoul. She was also expected to meet with South Korean government officials during her visit.
The cancellation of Huang's trip is believed to be due to family issues, although specific details were not disclosed by the sources. Industry observers have speculated that the decision may have been influenced by foreign news reports claiming that U.S. intelligence officials suspect a woman with close ties to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is a spy for China.
Despite Madison Huang's absence, the Nvidia-hosted event is expected to proceed as planned. This development follows past interactions, such as her visit to the SK Group headquarters in Seoul on June 8, 2026, where she met with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won.
