I agree that Korean Air's lounges haven't quite measured up to those of other top-tier airlines. Fortunately, brand-new lounges are set to open at ICN this August 2025, which will hopefully alleviate congestion and significantly improve the passenger experience.
New Prestige Class Garden Lounges are being built in both the east and west wings of T2 to cope with the shift in passengers, with a total of six lounges.
With an expanded Korean Air footprint across T2, “we’re going from 5,000m2 of lounge space to 13,400m2 of lounge space, and from just under 900 seats combined to over 1,600 seats”
