'You Quiz on the Block' Jensen Huang says he lost his entire fortune in stocks—an epic life-turning story from a dishwashing boy to the CEO of a $800 trillion empire

'Failure'—the ruler of an $800 trillion empire rises again, 'Jensen Huang'’s unprecedented variety show appearance

"To become great, you must go through hardship."

The absolute power in the global 'artificial intelligence' (AI) ecosystem, with a market cap that has easily topped $800 trillion, 'NVIDIA' CEO 'Jensen Huang' will appear on South Korea’s tvN variety program 'You Quiz on the Block' for the first time in the world. How did a boy who immigrated to the United States at nine years old, climbed onto an immigrant ship, and washed restaurant dishes become the head of the world’s top company? From the moment of a distant crisis—just 30 days away from bankruptcy—to the painful past when he wiped out his entire fortune in 'stock investments', his journey reads like a blockbuster movie. In particular, his anecdote about personally roaming through 'the Yongsan Electronics Market' in the past in Korea and handing out business cards proves the strong ties he formed with the Korean market. Along with the key profile of talent for the coming 'AI era', he delivers a weighty insight: “No matter what you do, you have to give 100% effort.”

From 'balance games' with the titans of industry to his down-to-earth dance moves, the man behind the giant

Behind the scenes of the global IT giant is a human, down-to-earth charm. The 'balance game' that picks out who among South Korea’s top chaebol chiefs—including Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Eui-sun, and SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won—was the most personable while he was in town captivated audiences around the world at the time. Also, the show releases without holding back everything from a straight-to-the-heart love story toward his wife during college, to his intense fan feelings for singer Hwasa, to a surprising side of him as he sways his body to music. In the recording studio, he praised the nation’s MC 'Yoo Jae-suk' by raising his thumb and calling him the “MC champion,” and afterward, word has it that 'Yoo Jae-suk' also showed off a 'bromance' that transcends borders and fields, calling him “hyung.” The most candid side of the man leading the $800 trillion empire is set to hit living rooms at 8:45 p.m. on the 10th.
