Oh, I agree with you on that point. However, ICN is hardly a DL hub any more than HKG is an AA hub. The disjointedness I was referring to was the fact that DL's major Asia hub, NRT, doesn't really serve as an access point to the entire continent making it worth significantly less than it was in the pre-ST days when NW dominated on US-Asia via NRT.
