The other poster is correct. ICN-KIX is minimal miles. Also, based on your ticket, you probably might not even collect anyone.

With JL marketed, KE operated flights, the alliance rules are weird. My ex and I flew JL GMP-HND and the return was HND-GMP operated by KE but purchased on JL website.

At check in, we presented his Morning Calm (Sky Team Elite status) card. They told us that even though he is an Elite member, flying on a KE plane, that his benefits didn't work because it was paid through JL. We literally were put on the last row of the plane (KE Morning Calm usually gets special seats first half of Y cabin). I don't recall if we earned any miles at all.
