Now, the typhoon is close to the southern sea of Geoje Island and continues to head north.
After a while, our reporter is in Happo-gu, Masan, Changwon, near the point where the typhoon will land on the Korean Peninsula.
Reporter Min Kyung-ho, how is the situation right now?
<Reporter>
Yes, I am now in Jindong Port, Happo-gu, Masan, Changwon.
Of course, the wind was getting stronger, and from a while ago, the wind started blowing with a sound like the sound of thunder.
If you look at the dock behind me, you will see the water level rising as if it was going to overflow.
This is because it is the day that overlaps with the high tide when the seawater level is the highest. In addition, it is a place where tsunami damage such as flooding is frequent because the surrounding is low.
In fact, it is said that when the typhoon'Maemi' hit this place in 2003, the road around where I was was filled with water up to the shoulders of an adult male.
So, some residents of Gohyeon-ri were evacuated to a nearby school, and our reporters who delivered news of the typhoon also settled on the second floor of the building for safety.
In addition to Gohyeon-ri, residents of Seongsan-gu, Masan, Happo-gu, and Masan member-gu, who are concerned about tsunami, inundation, and landslides, were advised to evacuate.
Also, the Machang Bridge, which connects Masan Happo-gu and Seongsan-gu, in Changwon, where I am, was completely controlled at 11 p.m.
The
residents of

must be desperately hoping that this typhoon will pass without much damage. How is it?
Is the typhoon coming soon?
<Reporter> The
typhoon is expected to land between Busan and Geoje an hour later than originally expected.
In particular, it seems that the strength'river' will still be maintained even when landing, and the damage will be minimized only when the typhoon comes and goes quickly, but I am concerned that the damage will increase as the time that the typhoon affects the coastal area increases.
It is said that the'river' will remain for a while even after the typhoon exits, so residents of the Yeongnam area should refrain from going out and take care of safety.
