You are correct. Assuming he was using a 747 landing picture
and been flying proper target speed, he would land a 777 long, not short.
The extremely slow speed required him to have a higher nose up attitude which would result in a higher landing picture - so if he were using 777 references, the slow speed would cause him to land short.
I've never piloted a 747 or 777; 767 is as big as I've flown. However, in order to get a tail strike on the sea wall, he had to have a very nose high attitude. Of course he was in the stick shaker so we know he had an abnormally nose high pitch attitude.
Back on topic - based on article 160 above, I expect the crew to be prosecuted in Korea.
