[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] SK Holdings C&C announced on the 19th that power supply to the Pangyo data center has been completed.

An SK C&C official said, "The power supply rate reached 100% around 5 a.m. today."

On the 15th, a fire at the data center caused disruptions to several Kakao services. By the previous day, the data center's power supply rate had recovered to 95%, but considering only the power supply rate to Kakao's servers, which house about 32,000 servers, the situation was still insufficient.

With the data center's power supply rate restored to 100% on this day, it seems highly likely that several Kakao services will be fully restored as early as today.

Meanwhile, Kakao will hold a "Press Conference on Disruptions Caused by the Data Center Fire" at around 11 a.m. at Kakao Ajit in Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province.
