On the 9th, the Korea Forest Service announced that from this day until Typhoon 'Khanun' is completely dissipated, major forest trails such as the Jirisan Dullegil and Hallasan Dullegil will be fully closed.


Khanun is expected to affect the Korean Peninsula starting from the southern coastal area on the afternoon of the 10th.


Accordingly, the Korea Forest Service plans to install warning signs and access control lines in typhoon-risk areas, enforce emergency duty for forest trail managers, and establish emergency communication networks to thoroughly prevent safety accidents.



Kang Hye-young, Director of Forest Welfare at the Korea Forest Service, stated, “To ensure the safety of forest trail users, we have decided to proactively restrict access to the trails,” and added, “We urge the public to refrain from using the forest trails until the typhoon is completely dissipated and to check the current situation through the forest trail information center website.”
