As Typhoon No. 14 'CHANTHU' has developed into a super strong typhoon, it is expected to affect the Korean Peninsula as well.

After passing through Taiwan this weekend, it is expected to rise close to the Korean Peninsula on the 14th, and according to the current forecast, Korea is expected to be affected by the typhoon around the 14th.
