here is a list of top 10 destinations from PRG, so using prague as a hub airport for KE does not make any sense at all. KE already has direct flights from ICN to most of the cities listed below except for BRU and BCN.

Of course, OK can add flights and open new destinations but OK has become an ultra-niche carrier and is literally eaten step by step by LCC. So, relying on low yield connecting traffic from KE seems very hazardous to me.
But, of course, €2.6 millions is absolutely nothing for KE, but there will be much more money to invest after to make this work
