SEOUL, November 9, 2026 — South Korea expects Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) covered by existing contracts to arrive as scheduled, Vice Minister of Science and ICT Ryu Jemyung said on Monday, according to Reuters.

Speaking before a parliamentary budget committee, Ryu said about 10,000 GPUs purchased through a 2025 supplementary budget had been delivered and were in operation. He said supplies contracted for 2026 were expected to be deployed within the year.

“We expect production and the delivery schedule for contracted volumes to proceed without disruption,” Ryu said, according to Reuters. The Ministry of Science and ICT is monitoring the situation and discussing pricing and delivery schedules with Nvidia Korea.

The assurance concerns deliveries already covered by contracts. It does not indicate that the separate controversy surrounding Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang has changed the agreed supply schedule.

Separately, media reports have described allegations concerning Huang and businesswoman Alice Huang, and said Nvidia’s board had opened an independent inquiry. The allegations have not been established as fact. Reports also said the board saw no current reason to believe US national-security interests or confidential Nvidia information had been compromised. Huang has said he would cooperate with the inquiry.

South Korea’s government says it will continue monitoring deliveries as it develops domestic artificial-intelligence capacity. The contracted GPU supply is important to public computing programmes and local technology companies seeking access to advanced AI hardware.
