Madison Huang sent an email to Seoul’s Mapo Police Station thanking officers for managing a visit by her father, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang [1].
The gesture highlights the logistical challenges and public interest surrounding the high-profile tech executive's presence in South Korea, where crowd control became a priority during his stay.
Jensen Huang arrived in South Korea on Oct. 5 [1]. The visit included an unannounced stop in the Mapo-Hongdae area of Seoul, which drew unexpected crowds of people. According to the email sent on Oct. 28 [1], Madison Huang, a senior marketing executive for Nvidia Omniverse and Robotics, praised the officers for their technical assistance and professionalism.
"I wanted to express my gratitude to the Seoul police for managing our visit," Huang said [1].
She noted that the officers provided critical support despite the volume of people who gathered during the trip. "The police officers helped us technically even with the unexpected crowds," Huang said [1].
In the correspondence, she expressed a wish to treat the officers to a meal as a token of appreciation for their work. The email also relayed a message from the CEO regarding the safety of the public during the event.
"CEO Huang is sincerely grateful that the police kept the Korean public safe," Huang said [1].
The Mapo Police Station was responsible for overseeing the security and traffic flow in the busy district following Huang's arrival at Gimpo Airport earlier this month [1].

The interaction underscores the 'celebrity' status of Nvidia's leadership within the global semiconductor ecosystem, particularly in South Korea, a critical hub for chip manufacturing. The need for police intervention during an unannounced visit reflects the intense public and industry scrutiny facing the company as it continues to dominate the AI hardware market.
