Good point - I should have just said "US - Korea segment."

Whichever UR partner you transfer to, check to make sure there is adequate availability before you make the transfer (and be prepared to redeem as soon as the points transfer). There is no ability to move points back into UR so if you transfer and there isn't availability, you're out of luck.
Another excellent point. MOVE FAST when you find an award that will work for you! Good awards don't stay available for long.
