Question TK and overbooking

I’m curious how Turkish Airlines handles overbooking situations and how often they occur. I know TK overbooks economy and upgrades to business, but has anyone encountered situations when the whole plane was overbooked? If so, how does TK look for volunteers (at gate, and/or check-in)? Or do they simply offload someone involuntarily. What has the compensation typically been?
