Summary
200 megawatts is the new target for NAVER’s NVIDIA-powered AI factory at GAK Sejong—about 100,000 GPUs on the Vera Rubin platform, more than tripling the initial June buildout.
A $500-billion-plus NVIDIA-SK partnership will broaden Korea’s AI infrastructure push, deploying Vera Rubin systems with SK hynix HBM4 memory to meet rising global compute demand.
KAIST and NVIDIA also formalized a joint agentic AI lab in Seoul—the first such lab between a Korean university and a global tech company—while KAIST and Seoul National University plan additional NVIDIA AI Technology Centers.
Hyundai Motor Group tied the expansion to physical AI, extending a 50,000-Blackwell-GPU buildout and integrating NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion into its vehicle platforms.
The announcements came as President Lee Jae Myung and Jensen Huang met in San Francisco, underscoring South Korea’s broader bid to become a hub for AI infrastructure, semiconductors and industrial deployment.
