supposedly yes.
talk to the airline (or travel agent) to find an alternate routing. it is possible for chinese airlines to start cancelling flights to USA (given non-USA nationals cannot fly from china to USA) - you don't want to be stuck in china in this situation
one way Seoul to SFO isn't too bad ($500 via EVA/Taiwan or $572 via Tokyo, or $530 nonstop via asiana). take prorated refund from original ticket
