Torrential rains beginning Saturday caused one death and four injuries in southern South Korea, primarily through a landslide that struck an apartment building in Geoje. Verified reports confirm heavy precipitation across South Gyeongsang Province and adjacent areas, with power outages, school flooding, and hundreds of evacuations. Evacuation totals remain disputed between sources, and broader regional context is absent from available data.
