Global Interpark down, crashing or not working? You're not alone

Global Interpark is a commercial platform focused on the sale and auction of multiple products related to the culture of South Korea for the international market.

Through the platform, users can access merchandise from their favorite Korean bands, and even tickets to live events, among many other things.

However, currently many users are unable to access the website due to a big outage on the servers.

According to multiple reports, the Global Interpark website is completely down or not working, preventing users not only from doing operations on the platform, but also from checking the current status of their purchases and auctions.

As in other server outages, the cause of the problem seems to be a sudden rise in traffic of visitors. Currently, the capacity of the servers seems to be completely exceeded.

In this case, it seems that the crash in the servers is due to the ticket sale for a BTS concert. The popularity of this South Korean band is massive and often causes this type of situation.

There is still no official acknowledgment of the issue from the Global Interpark team. So, it is not yet clear when the platform will return to normal operation.

We will be monitoring the situation to update this story as new developments emerge in the future.
