Frenzy over Seoul eatery table used by Nvidia CEO prompts time limit

A fried chicken restaurant in South Korea has introduced a one-hour time limit for the table used by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during his casual dinner with Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Euisun last week.

“The table occupied by Jensen Huang can be used for only an hour,” said a notice posted in front of the store near Samseong station in southern Seoul.

Since Huang’s visit last Thursday, crowds have lined up in front of the store even before opening hours, hoping to enjoy fried chicken at the same table once used by Huang and the South Korean business leaders. The restaurant, however, does not accept reservations for the table.

Their 70-minute gathering generated massive public buzz, as it is rare to see global business leaders make an appearance at such a casual dining restaurant in such a busy part of Seoul.
