When they quote the wind farm as 2500MW, it's probably its theoretical capacity. I don't know enough about South Korea to say how close the actual production will be, but I'll bet it's actually <1GW.
This sounds great, and it really is, but don't forget that this is the equivalent of one nuclear power station, and South Korea requires ~40GW in total.
