There’ll be a significant decrease in numbers of OZ pax using the lounge next years as, from Dec 11th 25, purchasing front row extra leg room seats no longer gains the passenger access to a lounge (for ex ICN flights to Europe/N America).

The cost of these seats has been reduced by about 20USD and those with top tier membership and economy passengers in the highest 3 fare codes (Y & 2 others) can now have these seats allocated for free.
