EDIT: It is possible to serve all 4 flights daily with 6 A380s with the following cycles although if one goes mechanical or needs to be taken out of service for an extended period there will be a problem.

Example Cycle 1 - requires 3 A380s
Seoul (ICN) to New York (JFK) — Mon, Mar 7

Seoul (ICN) to Los Angeles (LAX) — Tue, Mar 8

That looks to be the most likely scenario plus either ICN-BKK or ICN-HKG v.v. after OZ201 in cycle 2.
