Weather officials are urging residents to take precautions,... as strong winds of up to 30 meters an hour could cause trees to topple.
The season's ninth typhoon, Lekima, is also currently making its way toward the Korean Peninsula and could develop into a super typhoon.
However, experts forecast it'll likely to veer to Japan or Taiwan instead.
