The Presidential Office stated on the 19th regarding the government administrative network paralysis incident, "Although an accident occurred, it seems that recovery was achieved faster than expected due to swift action."

A Presidential Office official said on the afternoon of the same day at the Yongsan Presidential Office, when a reporter asked, "Did President Yoon give any additional instructions or necessary measures related to the network incident?" "He instructed to form a task force (TF) and conduct an inspection just before returning from the United States," adding this.

The official added, "It seems that the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will make an announcement soon. By looking at that announcement, the public will be able to understand how the situation unfolded," and "The Presidential Office is also closely monitoring the situation. If necessary, we believe additional measures can be taken."

The national administrative network was paralyzed on the 17th, halting the issuance of various civil documents such as resident registration certificates. In response, President Yoon, who was visiting San Francisco, USA, to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, ordered, "Immediately activate a government joint TF and respond swiftly."

The national administrative network, which had been down for three days, was normalized on this day. According to the 'Local Administrative Network Service Failure Countermeasures Headquarters' formed by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, a failure occurred in the GPKI authentication system accessing 'Saeol' on the morning of the 17th, and a replacement was carried out on this day.
