It was reported on the 4th that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang plans to hold back-to-back meetings with KRAFTON and NC during his visit to South Korea to discuss cooperation on physical AI and next-generation chipsets.

According to the gaming and IT industries, CEO Huang is scheduled to meet with KRAFTON Chairman Chang Byung-gyu and Chief AI Officer (CAIO) Lee Kang-wook in Seoul. The meetings are expected to focus on collaboration in humanoid robotics—including physical AI—and gaming applications powered by the on-device AI chipset 'RTX Spark.'

KRAFTON visited NVIDIA's headquarters in April 2025 to discuss technical cooperation and recently announced the development of humanoid robot AI through Ludo Robotics, a specialized subsidiary established earlier this year. Furthermore, the company plans to leverage the 'N1 X' chipset of the 128GB integrated memory 'RTX Spark' to pursue the popularization of on-device AI features, such as 'PUBG Ally' for 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds' and 'Smart Joy' for 'inZOI'.

CEO Huang is also scheduled to meet with NC CEO Kim Taek-jin at an undisclosed location in Seoul on the 7th. The two companies have maintained a partnership for over 20 years, dating back to the development of 'Lineage' and 'Aion' in the early 2000s. Industry observers expect this meeting to signal the start of formal discussions on building a collaborative relationship in the field of physical AI, moving beyond their existing cooperation in graphics technology.

NC's subsidiary, NC AI, was recently selected as a national project contractor for defense-related physical AI alongside Hyundai Rotem and has signed a joint development agreement for robot intelligence technology with POSCO DX.

Meanwhile, CEO Huang, who arrives in Korea on the evening of the 4th, is expected to spend four days meeting with leaders of major domestic corporations, figures from the gaming industry, robotics and AI startups, and research teams.
