Announcements are made in Korean and English and there is usually a Korean offering at the mealtimes. Korean Air provides good service at a good price and Incheon is a great airport. You made a good choice of airline.
And when offered a choice of meal, korean is likely to be better than the western alternative on KAL and Asiana.
