Duty-free sales. Was once on KE's LAX-ICN overnight flight, and they served breakfast very early. Asked why they do this, and they said they have to do duty-free sales after that. No offense, but I understand that Koreans are freaking duty-free addicts, so I guess most of them are willing to wake up early to buy something.

TG also does this on LAX-KIX flight. However I understand that their reason for doing this is to coordinate meal schedule with KIX-BKK continuation.
