TPE-JFK

Because icn-jfk is an unnecessary open-jaw because there's no easy way to do that, you might as well just include it and get your stopover back and do

EWR-NRT /stop
NRT-ICN / stop
ICN-TPE / destination
TPE-JFK

so instead of doing CTS-ICN direct like you presumably intended you'll just have to organize a NRT-CTS round-trip instead.
Try NYC-HND-CTS, CTS-TPE on BR, TPE-ICN, ICN-NYC if ordering does not matter,

ANA flies out of HND to CTS. You may find flights out of CTS to ICN/GMP with connections other than TYO but these likely in Y.

I have a trip to CTS next February during the snow festival and there was very limited availability in Y (don’t bother trying to get J on domestic flights) between TYO and CTS using Aeroplan but lots of space using UA miles. I ended up booking HND-CTS for about C$133 O/W (special visit Japan fare on ANA when flying in on *A). This trip was not part of a mini RTW though, just throwing out some ideas.
