Ministry of Culture Restores 35 Information Systems Damaged by NIRS Fire

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced on October 29 that it has completed the restoration of all information systems that had been suspended due to the fire at the Daejeon National Information Resources Service (NIRS) on September 26.

The ministry stated that 35 information systems were affected by the NIRS fire, and as of 10 a.m. on this day, with the restoration of the "Illegal Gambling Industry Monitoring and Reporting Center," all systems have been normalized.

The major services restored this time include the ministry's official website, the integrated email system for public officials, "Policy Briefing" which provides national policy information, and "Korea.net," a multilingual website promoting Korea abroad. All of these services are now operating normally.

On the morning following the NIRS fire, at 9 a.m., Minister Choi Hwi-young established the Central Disaster Response Headquarters and raised the crisis alert level to "serious," activating a company-wide recovery system. Immediately after the service suspension, the ministry set up a notification page to minimize public inconvenience, operated a temporary website during the restoration period, and replaced online civil services with telephone, fax, and in-person submissions.

The ministry emphasized that it will regularly inspect the 35 restored systems to ensure that the public can use the services stably.
