Ask what Korea is talking about.

A global Microsoft outage disrupted Outlook, Teams, and other Microsoft 365 services for over 24 hours, hitting businesses and governments worldwide, including major Korean companies where employees lost email access and workflow coordination, the Korea Times reports. Microsoft apologized on Friday and said services had fully recovered by Saturday, while Korea's ICT ministry said it would inspect domestic disruptions. The outage also affected AI connectors used by OpenAI and Anthropic, and coincided with a separate US air traffic control failure that halted flights. Korean and global reactions included mockery of the chaos, with one Korea Times piece noting the 'e-silence' of no email chimes or message pings, though people stayed online. A Koreaboo article on an ATEEZ member's outfit sparked ridicule and racist accusations, but that is unrelated to the outage.
