Korean Air website constantly more expensive than partners

It's been astonishing me for some time now. The website KoreanAir.com seems to always have inflated prices for my routes to Europe.

For instance, I can book a return Seoul-Paris-Geneva in J for 2'300'000 KRW on AirFrance.com, while the price is at 3'900'000 on KAL. Exact same flights, KE metal, just HIGHLY different prices.

In Y, I could easily find offers at 800'000 KRW on AF-KLM websites, on KE metal, while the exact same KE flight is always well over 1'000'000 Won on their own website.

They never, ever, seem to do any "offers" on their own webpage, always the good old "rack" rate. It seems they let their partners do the "discounting" work for them.

Or maybe I'm missing something..
