Nope, they took it DFW-ICN, ICN-SGN, SGN-ICN. I smartened up on the way back to the US and hid some in the small of my back under my backpack.
The on board service was very much lacking. And I have not ever been forced to throw out unopened bottles of water (purchased after security) flying back into the US. Maybe I've gotten lucky, but odd that only KE has done this to me, and on non-US flights.
Wasn't just the water either- on my return flight, they cancelled my original flight, and I had to fly home a day early, but that meant going in economy but I had to get back to work. When they got to my row for food choices the 'chicken' option was gone, so I asked for the Bimibap (sp?) I'd had it before, and the other option was fish, which I don't eat. The FA said "no you won't like Bimibap, have the fish" "No, I don't like fish, I'd like the Bimibap please" "Here's the fish, you'll like it better"
I make my way to the restroom later (after not eating my fish) and see the same FA eating the Bimibap... KE is out for me!
