The KE lounge at T1 leaves a lot to be desired. They have packaged cheese, some instant noodles (Shin ramen and a few other Korean ones), some sandwiches and a very limited, albeit self-serve, choice of liquor, wine and beer. They also have bathrooms and a shower or two.

I've yet to try the new AF lounge but the pictures I've seen make it look a hundred times better than the KE lounge. KE has to up their game.
Thanks for the details. KE lounge it is. I'll likely grab dinner in T4 then make my way to T1. My understanding is KE68, which leaves after midnight, has a shortened meal service / smaller meal than one would expect, thus want to get enough grub on the ground.
