Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do Province have been hardest hit by the torrential rain. The Korean Meteorological Agency reported that the capital region saw more than 100 millimeters of rain on Wednesday, and it expects a similar amount of rain to fall until Friday.
One man has died in the downpours. He was swept away while riding his bike across the Jeongneung-cheon Stream in Seoul's Seongbuk-gu District.
In the city of Yongin, Gyeonggi-do Province, a man in his 40s has been reported missing after being swept away by a stream swollen with floodwater. The police and fire service have launched a search for him.
Roads and vehicles were submerged by flooding and the Gyeongui-Jungang subway line was halted for three hours due to an electrical fault after lightning hit the tracks.
The Ministry of Public Safety and Security has warned residents in areas at risk of flooding and landslides to refrain from outdoor activities.
