I will be returning from ICN on KE & connecting to CO to EWR

through PVG (Pu Dong) on Dec 5 all on CO tix in 1st (up front)

Can my bags be checked through from ICN to EWR without

my claiming & rechecking in Pu Dong

And what choice (if any) might there be for lounge access

I am lifetime CO President's Club (I heard conflicting club info)

Thanks for any help
