I live in the South West and it was the same as every other typhoon. A wet fart, thankfully. The windows rattled for about 3 or 4 hours. It had stopped raining by 10am.
It is basic atmospheric science. Some English websites talk about projected strength, but Korean media talks about typhoons by Taiwan in terms of their strength THEN.Lingling ended up a Category 1 typhoon when it arrived in South Korea, the WEAKEST of the five categories of typhoon.Maemi was a category 5 super typhoon before it weakened to still an incredible typhoon.The media scaremongers for ratings about obviously lesser storms by neglecting to mention that Lingling AT TAIWAN being as strong as MAEMI WAS AT KOREA is a false equivalence because OF COURSE as the storm front heads north through cooler waters, it loses intensity.
I live near the west coast of Chungnam and we certainly felt it. Over the Seohaean Bridge was gusting from 90-120 km/h, which in my books is fairly breezy. I saw the massive metal roof get blown off the recycling hut in my apartment block and fly across the ground. Anyone getting in the way of that would have been in big trouble. I went for a hike about 6pm, when it had all pretty much died down, and the mountain where I usually hike was strewn with branches and debris across the path. Some big trees had been blown down. Workmen were removing a blown-down pole at an intersection. On the plus side, when hiking I saw a mountain boar and her baby. Never seen that before.

Over here in Gyeongbuk, we got a bit of rain, and a bit of wind, but nothing serious. I went walking during the worst of it (dog was not impressed), but it wasn't terribly spectacular. Had some interesting sunset views afterwards, though!
