Yes I know what you mean, I'm just shocked because ICN-DPS is a loooong flight.

Pricing is a tricky b%$#^. Especially considering I got sale price ICN-DPS round trip for myself from Korean Air (live in Seoul) and the "70% mileage earning sale price" is 600$. The 100% actually was just 30$ more though so I went for that.
