Around the same time, flooding occurred in the basement of a villa in Sipjeong-dong, Bupyeong-gu, and at 3:04 p.m., a road was flooded in Bugae-dong, Bupyeong-gu.

Due to the northward movement of Typhoon Khanun, among the 14 routes connecting Incheon and the islands, all 16 passenger ships on 13 routes except the Incheon-Jeju route, which was already suspended, were all controlled.

The Incheon Port Authority allowed about 600 vessels, including passenger ships, cargo ships, government vessels, and fishing boats, to take shelter in the inner seas of Incheon Inner Port, South Port, and North Port. Additionally, they lowered the height of containers stacked at the cargo terminal docks to four tiers or less and carried out leveling and securing work to prepare for damage from strong winds.
