I do not see a way to add our middle names to our Korean Airline profiles. I'd like to avoid this issue in the future. Is there a way to do so?
I haven't edited my profile in years, but my current sky pass account literally has 마이클 / LAST FIRST MIDDLE. I've flown all over from Incheon, Gimpo, Jeju over the past 12 years and they've never hand written my full name on the card BUT they do always literally check it letter for letter at the first ID security check. I believe that means that when I made my first name I just put FIRSTMIDDLE like that (because that's how I write my English name as a foreigner living here for everything).
