Not sure if there's a direct way to earn. Maybe by transferring? I think Chase Ultimate Rewards points can transfer to Korean, which is in SkyTeam?

Also, is it common/safe practice to cancel cards that you have to resign up and get the same bonus again? If possible, would consider doing this with AMEX. I have had the card for over a year now. Thanks in advance!
It depends on the card issuer. AMEX tends to be very restrictive. Rumor is that cards have to be canceled at least 2 years to get a bonus again, otherwise AMEX will only give the difference between the new signup bonus and the original.

If you are ok with signing up for new cards, consider the SPG AMEX - Starpoints transfer with a bonus to Delta in high volume: 20k SPG -> 25k Delta... current best offer is 25k for signup. Sometimes gets up to 30k.
