Heavy rain caused one death in Busan after a home collapsed, while another person in the southwestern port city of Mokpo was injured and remains unconscious in hospital after being hit by falling debris from a building.
Firefighters in Busan received around 400 reports of property damage as of Sunday evening.
Jeju suffered between 20 to 30 mm of rainfall per hour resulting in around 100 reports of property damage.
According to the Ministry of Interior and Safety, 8,903 households suffered blackouts in Busan, Ulsan, South Gyeongsang Province in the southeast and Gangwon Province in the northeast.
Airports and harbors were shut down, and some bridges and roads were also closed to traffic. All flights to and from Jeju International Airport were canceled until 4 p.m. on Sunday, while 248 flights to 11 other airports, including Gimhae, Gimpo and Incheon, were also canceled.

This is the first time in 43 years that six typhoons have affected the Korean Peninsula in one season. A strong North Pacific high pressure front still lingers near the Korean Peninsula, prompting forecasts of more typhoons.
