The trip is late Oct/early Nov and will be connecting ICN to China.
IME KE tends to give the IFC seats sold a business class seats only to its own elites. You can ask, but unless you have high tier status with KE (and not just a close alliance partner), KE agents will refuse to give you a seat in the FC cabin.
