North Korea also suffered flooding and drought earlier this year and there are worries about how the country's farms will handle the severe weather. The United Nations said in June that two-thirds of the country's 24 million people were grappling with chronic food shortages.

Another typhoon hit the peninsula shortly after Bolaven, but it didn't cause any deaths in South Korea. It's not unusual for three typhoons to hit the Korean Peninsula in such a short time, according to the Korean Meteorological Administration.
