According to industry sources on the 9th, the chairman is known to be coordinating schedules to meet with CEO Hwang at Silicon Valley in the US by the end of this month. If an official meeting between the chairman and CEO Hwang takes place, it will be 9 months after the so-called 'Chicken and Beer Meeting' held in October of last year at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. At that time, the chairman and CEO Hwang, along with Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Jung Eui-sun, solidified a '깐부' alliance at a '깐부치킨' store in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
This meeting is particularly drawing attention as it comes after the '3 Mega Projects for Korea's Great Leap Forward' announced by Samsung and SK together with the government on the 29th of last month. This is because the synergy with NVIDIA will be the key determinant of success or failure in building an 800 trillion won-scale Gwangju fab and over 1,000 trillion won worth of AI data centers nationwide.
