News agency Xinhua reported that the 20-year-old man claimed to have been bitten by mosquitoes while staying in the Philippines for five days through April 14.
The man developed symptoms of flu on April 20, and started manifesting rashes two days later.
It was the second Zika case in South Korea since a 43-year-old man was diagnosed with the virus on March 22.
Department of Health Secretary Janette Garin said the new case has been confirmed by the Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
Garin said the patient is well and not in the Philippines anymore.
She added that those who came in contact with him in the country were not manifesting symptoms.
In March, a woman was diagnosed with Zika virus in the United States after having traveled to the Philippines.
