I'm trying to figure out how difficult/risky this is. Will we have to clear customs etc in ICN? Any insight would be much appreciated. thanks!
If you're really connecting, it will be a single ticket. Since DL and KE obviously interline, the bag will be checked through. Upon arrival at ICN, you will probably need to change from the satellite terminal that DL uses by little underground train to the main terminal and then go through airport security. Then you should be in the general area of the KE gates for your next flight. If you need a KE boarding pass, there will be transfer desks along the way, but it's easier/faster if you can get the KE boarding pass from DL. IIRC you need a boarding pass to go through their transfer airport security and there can be small lines if you must use one transfer desk in particular.
If you are GM+ on DL, you will have KE lounge access at ICN as well as SkyPriority lines at transfer desks, etc.
