The above is my intended US to Asia roundtrip with a Europe stopover, which would use up 120k UA miles in business class. However, on the final leg (ICN to SFO), do I need to return via Europe, or can I cross the Pacific? I've been a little confused since some seem to report success, while others have mentioned that trans atlantic and trans pacific in a single itinerary constitutes a RTW. Thanks.

You'll be able to return via the Pacific. If an agent says it's invalid for some reason, asked to be transferred to the rates desk or simply hang up and call again.
