JFK-ICN is 50 miles longer than DFW-ICN. DFW-BNE is 1400 miles longer, for comparison.
the likely candidate fleet, 77E and 789 can easily fly this route.

I don't see this happening. AA does not have an aircraft that can do JFK-SIN. Given that this LCC crop of clowns in the C Suite retired brand new a332s for "fleet simplicity", I do not see them getting a ultra-niche subfleet for a route like this.
