Assuming you were flying NW metal, the lounge attendant was wrong. Asia NW Golds/Plats do indeed get WC membership as a perk of their status (while North American NW Golds/Plats don't get that benefit). But your plat status ALSO means you have Skyteam Elite Plus status, which gives you access to lounges based on a separate set of rules. Next time, make sure you tell them to look up the rules for Skyteam Elite Plus, and not for NW Plat.
