Generally I definitely agree though, the main lounge is more interesting and spacious and offers more facilities such as computers, massage chairs, etc.
Those massage chairs are never free though.
Avoid the Asiana lounge.
I seem to be in the minority, but I generally judge a lounge by the quality of the food, and the Asiana lounge stinks on this score. They do fried eggs in the morning (if you can tolerate the mystery oil they use to fry them) but otherwise it's a huge struggle to find anything at all worth eating.
I do HKG-ICN regularly, and no matter which lounge they let me in going out (most often HK Airlines/Silverkris), it's always a way better experience than the return. Ok for a quick coffee and not much more. The lounge on the right also seems to have a fly problem
