"From the First Day of Mandatory Vaccine Pass"…Naver, Kakao, and Kub Vaccine QR 'Down' (Update)

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] On the first day of the COVID-19 quarantine pass enforcement on the 13th, users are experiencing difficulties due to errors in vaccine certification applications such as Naver, Kakao, and QOOV.

According to the quarantine authorities, starting around 11:30 a.m. that day, QOOV, the vaccine certification app operated by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, experienced access disruptions, causing users to have trouble verifying their vaccination status.

Not only QOOV, but some errors also occurred in the QR code systems of Naver and Kakao, making their use difficult.

A quarantine official stated, "The IT team is currently checking the access load and other issues," and added, "We will provide updates as soon as the situation is clarified."

A Naver representative also confirmed, "We have identified errors occurring during QR code generation," and said, "We are currently assessing the situation."

Meanwhile, starting from this day, multi-use facilities such as restaurants and cafes will impose fines and penalties for violations of the quarantine pass guidelines. To enter facilities where the quarantine pass is applied, one must submit a vaccination certificate or a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result.
