Three billionaires went out for chicken and beer, and paid for everyoneвҖҷs meal

In a delightful surprise for patrons, three billionaires made an unexpected appearance at a popular fried chicken restaurant in Seoul, where they generously covered the bills for everyone dining there. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, joined forces with Lee Jae-yong, chairman of Samsung Electronics, and Chung Eui-sun, executive chair of Hyundai Motor Group, to enjoy a classic South Korean meal of fried chicken and beer, commonly referred to as "chimaek." The trio visited Kkanbu Chicken in the bustling heart of Seoul, just before the APEC summit taking place in Gyeongju. Upon arrival, Huang expressed his enthusiasm for the meal, stating, "I love fried chicken and beer with my friends, so Kkanbu is a perfect place, right?" Notably, the name "Kkanbu" also signifies a close friendship in Korean slang. During their meal, they indulged in a variety of dishes, including cheese balls, cheese sticks, boneless chicken, and traditional Korean beverages like Terra beer and soju. Local news outlets captured the moment when the three billionaires, whose combined wealth totals approximately $195 billion, linked arms to take a celebratory shot of beer, a customary gesture to solidify friendships in South Korea. As they mingled with the crowd, Huang enthusiastically shared his favorites, like the chicken wings, inviting patrons to enjoy the delicious offerings. The highlight of the evening came when Huang rang the "golden bell," signaling that he would pay for everyone’s meal. The audience erupted in cheers, although it was reported that Lee covered the bill, with Chung treating diners to a second round of drinks. This gathering comes as global leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, converge on Gyeongju for the APEC summit, where topics like access to advanced AI chips—a key factor in Nvidia’s remarkable $5 trillion market valuation—are on the agenda. Following their dinner, Huang, Lee, and Chung made their way to Nvidia’s GeForce Gamer Festival, where Huang hinted at a major announcement set for the APEC summit, promising exciting developments for the future of Korea.
