NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang took the mound as the first-pitch thrower at the Kiwoom Heroes and Doosan Bears game held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul on the 7th. On this day, CEO Huang took the mound before the start of the game to throw the first pitch.

CEO Huang, who recently drew attention by meeting consecutively with the heads of major Korean companies during his visit to Korea, visited a baseball stadium this time to communicate directly with Korean fans. This first pitch follows the so-called 'Samgyeopsal and Soju' (Pork Belly and Soju) meeting held on the 5th with SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin, and LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo. At that time, CEO Huang expressed his affection for Korean culture and food.

CEO Huang, the head of NVIDIA who leads the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market, discussed ways to cooperate in AI and semiconductors with major domestic companies during this visit to Korea. With the addition of the first pitch at Jamsil Baseball Stadium, he is also receiving the attention of sports fans, going beyond the industry.

At Jamsil Baseball Stadium on this day, the on-site atmosphere heated up even before the game began, with crowds flocking to see CEO Huang's first pitch in person.
