The 8th Typhoon Barbie in the North is approaching the Korean Peninsula. Jeju Island, the path of typhoons, has already entered the edge of the typhoon. We will connect to reporters on site.

Reporter Ha Chang-hoon of JIBS, It seems that the wind is blowing a lot. What is the situation in Jeju Island now?

<Reporter>

Yes, as time goes by, the rain and wind are getting stronger and stronger, and I feel that the typhoon is really getting closer.

In Jeju, which entered the area of ​​typhoon influence from last night (25th), a typhoon warning is currently in effect, and signs of typhoon are felt all over Jeju.

Currently, typhoons continue to travel north from the sea, about 200 km southwest of Seogwipo.

The central air pressure is 950 hectopascals, with strong winds of 45m/s and 155km/h in the center. It is expected to head to the west coast by passing the sea around 180km west of Seogwipo around 12:00 noon today.

Fortunately, there are also stories that the worst can be avoided as the typhoon turns a little further west than yesterday.

But in Jeju, I am very nervous.

This is because this typhoon is regarded as a typhoon similar to or larger than Volaben, which inflicted 7,400 damage in Jeju alone eight years ago.

In particular, as the wind is expected to be stronger than the rain, preparations are being made.

With the typhoon coming to the north, more than 2,000 fishing boats were absent from Hangpo-gu in the Jeju area, and all passenger ships connecting Jeju were suspended today.

Jeju International Airport said that all flights were canceled until 2 pm today, and that there may be more cancellations due to typhoon conditions.

Hallasan climbing was also completely controlled from yesterday.

In response to the typhoon news, each farm has been preparing for emergencies such as house and drainage maintenance from yesterday.

In particular, the Jeju Self-Governing Provincial Office of Education also recommended that all kindergartens and schools that are opening school should switch to remote classes for the day in consideration of the safety of students.

As typhoons in Jeju autonomous provinces begin to have a full-fledged effect, the Disaster Safety Countermeasure Headquarters is in operation to take preemptive actions to minimize the damage of this typhoon.
