Staying with typhoon Soulik,
So far we haven't seen much rain in the capital city of Seoul.
The typhoon seems to have weakened now, but for more details...
Let's speak to our Kim Mok-yeon... who's at Some Sevit, an island near the Hangang River in Seoul.
Mok-yeon,... how's it looking there?

Hi Ji-yoon, there's quite calm weather here in Seoul,
Clouds and showers gradually tapered off from around an hour ago...
And the Korea Meteorological Administration downgraded its typhoon warnings to advisories in most parts of the country.

Soulik is still continuing its way northeast, with the eye of the typhoon heading across the East Sea towards Japan.
The agency initially reported that it could hit Seoul at 4 a.m., but since the course of the typhoon changed, the capital did not suffer a direct hit.
But even so, we still need to take extra precautions as the peninsula could still be affected until the early afternoon.

So Mok-yeon, it's raining a bit and it's fairly windy in Seoul, are the alerts and emergency countermeasures still in place?

Yes, as far as we know, they are.
In fact, regional governments and related ministries have been on duty around the clock since Thursday afternoon... so more than around 20 hours or so.


President Moon instructed them to do all they can to ensure the safety of the people.
He's also called on private firms to adjust their working hours.
Thousands of Kindergartens, elementary and middle schools will be closed today.
Seoul's headquarters for natural disaster safety measures is still advising people to use public transportation instead of driving.
Related agencies also conducted check-ups on trains and subways to make sure they are safe in the unpredictable weather.
Back to you, Ji-yoon .
