Did you bring any printed information with you to the KE check in desk?
I didn't bring any info but they did look up info on their computer which I couldn't see the specifics... just point them to the sources

1) My passport has less than 6 months remainder validity during entry into Korea. Would this be an issue?
▷ You may enter Korea with a passport that has less than 6 months remainder validity as long as your passport remains valid throughout your stay. If you have further questions on this, please contact the Korean Immigration Call Center directly at +82-2-6908-1345 (multiple languages available).
