The Korea Meteorological Administration advised people to refrain from entering the Hallasan Trail, Oreum, coastal or mountainous Olle trails, and to pay special attention to flooding of low-lying areas, river flooding, and rapid currents.

In addition, as high waves due to swells on the Jeju coast for the time being may be strongly pushed onto white sandy beaches or over seawalls or breakwaters, it was recommended to be especially careful about safety accidents, such as refraining from approaching the coast.
