The strongest cyclonic storm this year - Typhoon Hinnamnor - has struck South Korea causing damage to cities on the southern coast, SIA cites foreign media.
Fearing landslides and floods, officials evacuated about 3,500 people ahead of the storm, which made landfall in the island city of Geoje.
It then churned at a 54km/hr pace northwards, whipping up surf and driving heavy rains and floods.
No casualties have been reported but a 25-year-old man in Ulsan remains missing, authorities say.
President Yoon Suk-yeol held emergency response meetings on Monday as the country braced for Typhoon Hinnamnor, which was measured to be as intense as the devastating Maemi typhoon in 2003.
Trains were suspended, hundreds of flights were cancelled nationwide and businesses and schools shut early. North Korea also braced for the storm, with leader Kim Jong Un holding a two-day disaster prevention meeting.
