The Chinese embassy in South Korea has confirmed a second Chinese citizen was killed during Monday's heavy rain in the Seoul metropolitan area.
 

Subway stations and major roads were under water in the South Korean capital Seoul after record-breaking rains caused severe flooding, with at least nine people dead and six more missing, officials said on Tuesday.
 

Dramatic images shared on social media late on Monday showed people wading through waist-deep water, metro stations overflowing, and cars half-submerged in Seoul's posh Gangnam district after torrential rain battered the city.
 

The downpour that began on Monday is the heaviest rainfall in South Korea in 80 years, reported Yonhap News Agency.
 

One of the victims was a Chinese citizen killed in a landslide in the city of Hwaseong in Gyeonggi Province at around 4:23 am local time on Tuesday, according to the Chinese Embassy in South Korea.
