Madison Huang was originally scheduled to arrive in South Korea on November 8 to attend the "2026 Nvidia Seoul AI Day" event held at COEX in Seoul from the 9th to the 10th. According to South Korea's Ministry of Science and Technology, Bae Kyung-hoon was originally scheduled to meet with Madison Huang on the afternoon of the 8th in Yeouido, Seoul; she also planned to attend the signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding for cooperation between Nvidia and South Korean companies such as SK Telecom on the 9th, and co-host the "Korea AI Startup Partnership Forum" with Ryu Je-myung, the Second Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
