Naver News Experiences 2-Hour Outage, Restored... "Infrastructure Storage Issue"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Naver News experienced an error for two hours on the 15th, causing inconvenience to many users.

Naver stated in a notice sent to media outlets around 7 PM that "from 4:50 PM to 6:50 PM, article transmission was not functioning properly," and apologized for the inconvenience caused by the service disruption.

Naver explained the error as "an issue with part of the infrastructure storage environment of the news service."

The issue was initially resolved around 5:25 PM, and articles were transmitted all at once, but the error occurred again about 11 minutes later at 5:36 PM.

Afterward, articles were not updated until around 6:50 PM. However, news was served normally on each media outlet’s homepage and other platforms.

Earlier that day, from midnight to around 3 AM, Naver's flight booking service 'Naver Hang-gong-gwon' experienced an error where the '100,000 won discount' benefit, which was supposed to apply only to certain flights, was mistakenly applied to other flights as well.

A Naver representative explained, "The flight ticket discount was applied incorrectly, but there is no connection between the two errors."
