We already know that Cebu will be added to NRT, for what it's worth!
I too would be curious what kind of connectivity UA is actually losing with OZ exiting Star. From a quick glance at the schedule, it seems the biggest losses for which ICN is a logical connection are some smaller Chinese cities, UBN, TAS, DAD, and PNH. Several of those destinations have less-than-daily service.
ICN is a great transfer hub, but we know that United would much rather push traffic over TYO on the ANA JV.
