Park Hyun-joo, Chairman of Mirae Asset Group, signed the Stand With Jensen petition citing investor protection, calling for the reinstatement of Jensen Huang

Park Hyeon-joo, chairman of Mirae Asset Group, co-signed the Stand With Jensen petition calling for the reinstatement of former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, saying the board's decision to let Jensen Huang leave was hasty and emphasizing investor protection. Park Hyeon-joo called Jensen Huang a CEO who built civilization, said his departure could cause problems for the global AI ecosystem, and mentioned that Korean investors hold about 30 trillion won (about 22.5 billion USD) of Nvidia exposure, with another 5 trillion won in indirect exposure through products such as Mirae Asset ETFs. A Mirae Asset spokesperson said the company's proprietary accounts do not hold Nvidia, but it supports the petition from the standpoint of protecting clients and investors. As of Sunday evening Korea time, the petition had received more than 146,000 signatures, with co-signers also including Elon Musk, Tim Sweeney, Garry Tan, and Cohere co-founder Aidan Gomez.
