'Meoktong' KakaoTalk Service Partially Restored After 10 Hours
[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Yuri] The KakaoTalk service, which was down due to a data center fire, has partially resumed after 10 hours.
As of 2 a.m. on the 16th, message sending and receiving is possible on the KakaoTalk mobile service. However, PC KakaoTalk remains inaccessible.
This partial restoration after about 10 hours of outage marks the longest service interruption in KakaoTalk's history.
The Kakao service disruption began around 3:30 p.m. that day when a fire broke out at the SK C&C Pangyo Data Center, where Kakao is housed. Due to the fire, power supply to the area containing Kakao's equipment was cut off, causing the service outage.
