A planned visit to South Korea by Madison Huang, a senior director at Nvidia Corp. and the daughter of CEO Jensen Huang, has been abruptly canceled, according to sources cited Saturday by The Korea Herald.
Madison Huang had been scheduled to travel to South Korea on Sunday to attend Nvidia AI Day Seoul 2026, which is set to take place Monday and Tuesday at the COEX exhibition center in southern Seoul. She was also expected to meet with South Korean government officials.
The trip was called off because of “family issues,” the sources said, without providing further details.
Some industry observers speculated that the cancellation could be related to foreign news reports alleging that U.S. intelligence officials believe a woman who had a close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was a spy working for China. The reports and the speculation were not independently confirmed in the source report.
Despite Madison Huang’s absence, the Nvidia-hosted event is expected to proceed as scheduled, according to the sources.
