Ministry of the Interior and Safety officials said on Sunday the heavy rainfall triggered landslides in dozens of places, flooded residential areas and roads, and damaged some riverside structures.
Much of the damage occurred in the Seoul metropolitan area and the central region.
The ministry said the six dead people were either buried by mud or destroyed building parts following landslides or swept away by swollen waters.
One died on Saturday and the other five on Sunday, all in the Seoul metropolitan area or the central region.
The torrential rain also left six people injured and 360 others homeless.
The Seoul area and the central region are expected to continue to receive heavy rain until Monday.
