Police believe the teacher took her own life, saying a note was discovered.
The teacher was reported missing on Monday.
It is unclear whether she was harassed by students' parents or struggled at school.
Four other teachers have taken their own lives since a teacher at Seo2 Elementary School died by suicide in July.
The fourth teacher had reportedly been harassed by parents since 2019.
