Fried chicken and beer is a combination that families, office workers and blue-collar laborers in South Korea love to share after a hard day at work. Billionaire tech magnates are not often mingling among them.<\/p>\n

But hundreds of spectators and news cameras swarmed the area outside an everyday fried chicken restaurant in Seoul\u2019s Gangnam district on Thursday to get a glimpse of the three: Nvidia\u2019s chief executive, Jensen Huang<\/a>; Samsung Electronics\u2019 executive chairman, Lee Jae-yong; and Hyundai Motor Group\u2019s executive chairman, Euisun Chung.<\/p>\n

At the table, the trio, all celebrities in the business world, exchanged hugs, clinked glasses and linked their drinking arms to take shots of beer.<\/p>\n

The chicken wings were \u201cso good,\u201d Mr. Huang said at the restaurant, where he referred to his seatmates casually as Jay, Mr. Lee\u2019s English name, and E.S., short for Mr. Chung\u2019s given name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

Their rare casual outing \u2014 which appeared staged for the public\u2019s eye, as they sat down at a table by the windows facing the street \u2014 was especially unusual in South Korea, where top executives of conglomerates keep high standards of decorum and privacy. It signaled the deepened ties between Nvidia, an American chipmaker, with South Korea\u2019s tech and auto industries.<\/p>\n

Later, they appeared together at an Nvidia gamer festival nearby, where Mr. Huang suggested that a business deal between them would soon be announced.<\/p>\n
