After April 2021 it will be 210,000 business and 315,000 first


Based on this:
Roundtrip Osaka to Incheon, Zone 2: 50,000 and 75,000

Then roundtrip Incheon to Europe or USA (west coast) Zone 8: 160,000 and 240,000
Not only has the burning rate gone up, the earning rate for most economy fare has gone down. If flying J or F earn and burn rate should be better actually, but the majority fly economy and that's why so many are annoyed about this change. For the hard/soft products KE offers, I don't think their J or F class fares are that competitive.
