SKD WIREMostly True
A claim that an AI service received 32,000 requests within a 20-minute span has been assessed as largely accurate, based on a review of nine primary sources.
The central figure — 32,000 requests in 20 minutes — was the focus of the review, which examined nine primary sources. No discrepancies undermining the core claim were identified in the material reviewed.
The claim circulated amid ongoing attention to traffic loads on AI services in South Korea, where companies including Naver, Kakao and Coupang operate consumer-facing platforms. The reviewed sources did not establish which company or service the request volume pertained to.
The primary sources reviewed do not resolve outstanding questions about the precise circumstances of the request spike, such as whether the traffic was organic or automated. Those points remain unconfirmed.
The claim that an AI service received 32,000 requests in 20 minutes is therefore judged Mostly True.
