When AI Met Fried Chicken
Okay, imagine this ~

No, this isn’t the start of a meme — it actually happened in Seoul.
And not at a fancy restaurant or Luxury private club.
They met at … Kkanbu Chicken (깐부치킨) — super popular Korean fried chicken & beer chain.
That night instantly became legendary online. People called it “The Chicken Summit.”

KOREA FBI Editor’s Note
For a ling time, NVIDIA felt somewhat distant Samsung. But this visit and especially their casual meeting over Kkanbu Chicken – felt like a turning point. I genuinely hope to see NVIDIA work more closely with Samsung in the future.
As the editor of KOREA FBI, it’s exciting to watch these connections grow.
Chimaek : Korea’s Universal Language
This “Chicken Summit” proved one thing clearly — Korean food connects people. Even the world’s most powerful leaders.
What’s next? Kimchi stew? Korean BBQ? Maybe even street food?
Whatever it is, we’ll be watching.
Tonight’s dinner … Kkanbu Chiken ?
