1. π "Why 'Kkanbu Chicken' of all places?" (Jensen Huang's 'Big Picture' & Hidden Meaning)
"Seriously, a global CEO? And meeting with the chairmen of Samsung and Hyundai... why a local chicken shop instead of a 5-star hotel or Michelin restaurant?" π§
The meeting location was chosen by **Nvidia's side itself**. This choice held Jensen Huang CEO's unique 'sense' and 'message', along with his 'big picture'.
- 1️⃣ Meaning of 'Kkanbu': "We are now an AI Alliance!" π€
'Kkanbu' is a Korean slang term that became famous through the globally popular Netflix drama. Beyond its literal dictionary meaning, in the drama, it signifies a symbolic word for **"the closest companions and a deep alliance that shares everything."**
Immediately after the meeting, Jensen Huang CEO told reporters with a smile, "I like chicken and beer, and I like eating with friends (Kkanbu). Wouldn't 'Kkanbu' be the perfect place?"
This delivered a powerful message that he considers Chairman Lee Jae-yong and Chairman Chung Eui-sun not just business partners, but **'close friends' and 'Kkanbu for the future AI era'**! This is interpreted as a symbolic meeting that announced the birth of an 'AI Kkanbu Alliance' to the world, emphasizing not just mere business cooperation but a close partnership. - 2️⃣ Symbolism of 'Chimaek' (Chicken & Beer): "Substance over Formality! Let's Discuss the Future Honestly!" π»
What does it mean that the heads of top tech companies and leading Korean conglomerates enjoyed 'chimaek' and even a 'somaek love shot' (a mix of soju and beer) instead of formal wine? π€£ This reflects Jensen Huang CEO's characteristic unpretentious and pragmatic style, and bold drive, indicating an intention to "discuss future AI-era business and cooperation comfortably and honestly, without formality."
