It will cost quite a bit in Chase points to fly Korean Air.
All of June is designated peak season for KE's North America to Korea flights, so SFO-ICN will cost 92.5k rather than the usual 62.5k. So, 155k Chase points plus additional cost of PEK-SEL, per person, if you want to fly it all on Korean Air.

Between SFO and ICN, Korean Air is now flying 747 with new business suites, which are significantly better than their old hardware and than business in United 747 operating the same route. Direct aisle access from each seat. If you can find the availability, you can also try Asiana on SFO-ICN/ICN-SFO, which has business suites comparable to Korean Air. Finding award availability through United on Asiana is difficult out of SFO though.
