Naver Pay Payment Failure Paralyzes E-commerce for 4 Hours

Naver Pay

An internal database logic error caused a widespread outage of Korea’s leading mobile payment service.

On February 19, 2026, Naver Pay experienced a major service outage during peak hours (12:00 PM to 4:30 PM). The incident prevented users from making online payments, using points at offline stores, and accessing transaction histories. The company confirmed the cause was an internal database logic failure rather than an external attack, leading to a formal investigation by the Financial Supervisory Service.
