금요일 최승재 국민의힘 국회의원(가운데)이 국회의사당에서 열린 기자회견 동안 카카오와 네이버가 서버 정전으로 인한 택시 기사들의 손실을 적절히 보상해야 한다고 촉구하며 발언하고 있다.

By Park Jae-hyuk


Kakao Mobility announced on Wednesday that it will pay 7,550 won ($5.30) to taxi drivers and 4,260 won to chauffeurs, who have paid the company's membership service fee, as compensation for losses incurred due to the service outage that occurred last Saturday's as a result of a fire at Kakao's main data center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province.
수요일 카카오 모빌리티는 지난 토요일 경기도 성남시에 있는 카카오의 주요 데이터 센터에서 발생한 화재로 생긴 서비스 중단에 대한 피해보상 방안으로 ‘카카오T 프로 멤버십' 비용을 지불한 택시기사와 ‘카카오 대리 프로' 서비스에 가입한 대리 기사에게 각각 7550원과 4260원의 포인트를 제공하겠다고 발표했다.


The mobility service provider's decision has drawn criticism from taxi drivers and lawmakers alike.
택시 서비스를 제공하는 카카오의 결정은 택시 기사들과 국회의원 양측에서 비판받았다.


Taxi drivers have protested the amount, saying they suffered much larger losses, because the disruption occurred during peak operation hours.
택시 기사들은 택시 운행이 가장 많은 시간에 서비스 장애가 발생했기 때문에 더 큰 손실을 입었다고 전하며 피해보상액에 대해 항의했다.


Rep. Choi Seung-jae of the ruling People Power Party also held a press conference at the National Assembly in Seoul, Friday, to urge Kakao Mobility to appropriately compensate drivers for lost income resulting from the server outage.
금요일 최승재 국민의힘 국회의원도 국회의사당 앞에서 기자회견을 열어 카카오와 네이버가 서버 정전으로 인한 택시 기사들의 손실을 적절히 보상해야 한다고 촉구했다.


"The 7,550 won is the only compensation plan that Kakao has announced for taxi drivers who could not receive calls, due to the service disruption that caused nationwide chaos," the lawmaker said. "It is apparently ridiculing the victims."
최 의원은 "대한민국 전체를 먹통으로 만들어 놓은 카카오가 서비스 장애로 종일 콜(접수)을 받지 못한 택시기사들에게 카카오 모빌리티를 통해 뒤늦게 발표한 보상책이 고작 7550원이라는 금액이었다"며 "명백히 피해자들을 기만하고 우롱하는 보상안"이라고 비판했다.


Kakao Mobility has yet to announce its compensation plan for Kakao-affiliated drivers, who can only be allocated rides via the KakaoT app.
카카오 모빌리티는 카카오T 앱을 통해서만 고객을 배정받을 수 있는 카카오 제휴 기사들을 위한 피해 보상안을 내놓지 않았다.


The company said that it will come up with additional measures for those drivers.
카카오는 이러한 기사들을 위한 추가적인 조치를 제안하겠다고 전했다.


Amid the controversy, Kakao Mobility CEO Ryu Geung-seon decided to appear at Friday's National Assembly audit of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, according to industry officials. Those summoned within seven days before an audit are not obliged to appear, so Ryu, who was called up on Monday, did so of his own volition.
논란이 지속되는 가운데 업계 관계자에 따르면 류긍선 카카오 모빌리티 대표는 금요일 국회 국토교통위원회 종합 국정감사에 출석하기로 했다. 감사 전 7일 이내 소환된 증인들은 출석 의무가 없으나 월요일에 소환된 류 대표는 자진해서 출석했다.


HDC Group Chairman Chung Mong-gyu, who was supposed to appear at Friday's audit of the land ministry to give testimony along with Ryu, refused to show up, citing an overseas trip he needed to go on as the Korea Football Association (KFA) chairman to attend the Oceania Football Confederation's meeting.
금요일 류 대표와 함께 국정감사에 출석하기로 한 정몽규 HDC 그룹 회장은 대한축구협회(KFA) 회장으로서 오세아니아 축구연맹 총회에 참석하기 위한 해외 출장을 이유로 들며 국토위 종합감사에 불참했다.


Lawmakers had planned to question him about his company's responsibility in a series of fatal building collapses in the southwestern city of Gwangju.
국회의원들은 광주광역시 남서쪽에서 발생해 인명 피해를 초래한 일련의 건물 붕괴 사고의 책임을 묻기 위해 정 회장을 증인으로 채택했었다.


Chung also declined to appear at an audit of the Fair Trade Commission earlier this month, citing an overseas trip he needed to go on as the KFA chairman to host the AFC Asian Cup in Korea next year. However, Qatar was selected on Monday as the venue for the sport event.
정 회장은 10월 초 내년 아시아축구연맹(AFC) 아시안컵 유치 활동을 위한 해외 출장을 가야 한다고 언급하며 정무위원회 국감장에도 참석하지 않았다. 그러나, 월요일 아시안컵 개최지로 카타르가 최종 선정되었다.
