Will DL silver get an upgrade in KE?

Hi all,
I may have a good shot of being a silver member with DL skymiles this year with 1 more flight to go, but I'm contemplating if getting silver is worth my money, since I fly KE more than DL metal most of the time.

Does anyone know that as silver member, will the upgrade benefits at DL also apply to sky team members such as KE?

For example, if I buy a Y, does that qualify me a biz class upgrade just like in DL flights? And what are the chances if I'm on deeply discounted prices such as Q, can I have a slight expectation to be upgraded at the gate?

I've seen some people got upgraded as the gate during my FUK-ICN flight recently, but just not sure whether they were it's own skypass members or what...
Need your expert comments here. Thanks!
