Thus, as a arriving passenger from ICN you must have passed through security at FRA (are there exceptions for South Korea?).
Usually, arriving pax without a connection do not do this.
Technically of course, you had the right to enter, but you posed an exception to the rule (plus not arriving on a LH flight). The dragons then have to figure who has to foot the lounge bill. Asiana might refuse payment for an arriving passenger since it is not a published Star Alliance benefit. LH unilaterally created that rule. Will LH pay for an Asiana arriving pax?
I'm sorry -- I don't get your point at all. LH allows SENs to use the SEN lounge when arriving on a *A flight. Maybe it's unusual to re-clear security, but I didn't pose "an exception", since the rule clearly covers exactly that situation. There are no SEN lounges outside the secure area (exept in TXL), so I'm not sure what should have "confused" the lounge agents (contracted staff as well as two permanent LH staff upstairs). They simply didn't know the rules.
I also don't care whether Asiana pays for the visit. I'm very sure they will not since it's an offer by LH for their (previously, in my case) most loyal customers.
