I would use them ASAP as they will either become Korean Air miles which were recently massively devalued and are almost useless except for one-way non-stop short-haul flights in economy on routes not served by LCCs or they will become completely useless. I can't imagine them not honoring tickets already issued though, so you can book as far out as the schedule allows. For example, when US Airways merged with AA, Star Alliance awards booked on the US Airways program were still valid after they switched to Oneworld and same for LATAM AFAIK.
