Not perfect, since there is a forced overnight in ICN, but not bad in the overall scheme of things. $40 something in taxes.
But wait - aren't the SEA-ICN-SEA legs on the new KE J seats? Those are actually pretty nice, flew this flight about a month ago (revenue C class) and enjoyed it a lot more than the ATL-ICN flights I've been on (C class as well).
