[Asia Economy Reporter Joselgina] Facebook and Instagram experienced a temporary outage on the morning of the 9th but have since been restored.

IT specialist media The Verge reported that starting around 5:30 PM Eastern Time on the 8th (local time), Facebook and Instagram services went down, and thousands of users reported service disruptions to the website outage tracking company Downdetector.

In Korean time, this was around 6:30 AM on the 9th. At the same time, some issues were confirmed domestically, including notifications that feeds could not be refreshed on Facebook and Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, as well as login failures.

Facebook's access outage had also occurred just a month ago on March 19th, lasting for several hours. During that time, the site was offline for hours and only error messages were repeatedly displayed. Facebook apologized for the inconvenience, stating, "Due to technical issues, people experienced difficulties accessing some Facebook services."

The Verge later updated that the access issues were resolved. As of the end of last year, Facebook's global daily active users numbered approximately 1.84 billion.
