Morning Calm status indeed looked at KE only (more complicated than this though), but higher level looked at SkyTeam flight miles as well. Now, unless KE rewords some, it appears that across all levels, only KE flights matter when it comes to the annual evaluation of elite status.
I 100% agree with you that the new system works favorably for those living in Korea and to some extent, Koreans living abroad.
