The typhoon is expected to gradually strengthen from the afternoon and develop into a strong typhoon, possibly becoming very strong by the time it reaches the waters near Seogwipo, Jeju. At around 3 a.m. on the 2nd, the typhoon is forecasted to have a radius of strong winds of 400 km and maximum wind speed of 49 m/s (175 km/h) approximately 440 km south of Seogwipo.

Afterwards, the typhoon is expected to pass through Tongyeong and then Busan in the early morning of the 3rd. Since it will be a very strong typhoon just before landfall and the radius of strong winds is very large, it is expected to affect the entire country. The typhoon is expected to pass through inland and then move out to the East Sea.
