The man reportedly yelled 'there's a fire' and then waited.
Local media, citing the police, say as victims ran out of the building, the man began stabbing them with a deadly weapon.
The attack took place in the small southern city of Jinju.
Five people were killed, including a 12-year-old girl.
Five others were injured and even more are being treated for smoke inhalation.
The unnamed suspect told police he did it because he wasn't being paid on time.
But the local government says he never reported overdue wages.
