The 9th typhoon of the season typhoon Maysak
was one of the biggest storms to hit South
Korea in recent years,... causing numerous
damages and injuries.
However, just when many thought it was all
over,... another typhoon is headed this way.
Lee Seung-jae tell us more.
Earlier this week,... the season's 9th typhoon
Maysak hit South Korea's southern resort island
of Jeju,... as well as southeastern and eastern
regions of the nation,... causing a massive
amount of damage.
Regions near Hallasan Mountain in Jeju reported
more than 1-thousand millimeters of rain,...
with windspeeds up to 50 meters per second.
Just when we thought the worst was over,...
now an even stronger typhoon is headed this
way and its name is Haishen.
The massive typhoon is currently forecast
to land on the nation's southern coast early
Monday,... before passing over Daegu and northeastern
city of Chuncheon.
But once again,... Jeju is expected to be
hit first on Sunday morning by powerful rain
and strong winds.
The Korea Meteorological Administration projects
the typhoon's path will approach areas just
80 kilometers away from Seoul at 3PM on Monday.
With many expecting Haishen to be even stronger
than Maysak,... the next storm could cause
even more damage than Maysak.
