With the KAL lounge now being physically separated from AA’s terminal, it seems highly unlikely they would still offer it to AA pax. Anyone have any additional / contradictory data on this point?

Is there any bag drop option for AA during morning hours at ICN?
I will be arriving early morning on a different airline with a boatload of bags, and would like to avoid paying to store them somewhere until the full AA check-in opens mid-afternoon.

I had a paid business ticket from Seoul this past July. The lounge they provide, The Airline Association Lounge, is horrible. The seating area is basically in a few large conference rooms with cushioned lounge chairs and cafe tables. The food and beverage spread was in an open hall way facing a parking lot on the opposite side of the airport (no views of the runways). The food was terrible - nothing fresh or hot, all of it was pre-packaged processed foods. I spent about 10 minutes as this lounge and gave up. It would be a good place to take work calls, as there were literally a total of 3 people in the series of "conference rooms" that comprise the lounge.
I have Priority Pass, so I used a nearby lounge covered by that. Much better service, food and drink options, and ambiance.
Also, no early check-in is available at ICN, even if in business class. You will need to wait until the standard time to check-in (I believe 2 hours before boarding). I was honestly unimpressed with ICN, a bit of a disappointment.

I'm in the Airlines Association Lounge now - it's horrible. Basically four window-less cells with lounge seating, and a table in the hallway with drinks and a few unappetising snacks. I grabbed a coffee and went and sat outside the lounge at Gate 46 - quiet, light, with a good view of ramp and runway.
I,m flying CX today and it's the worst CX lounge offering I have experienced. I' surprised they don't have their own lounge as they have 5 or 6 flights each day.

You know, JL doesn't serve ICN at all (and there lies the problem)...

CX is making one. It may take a few more months. It's been only a month since the airlines (SQ is making one, too) began construction.

Have a 12 hour layover in January so guessing the OW lounge won't be open yet. May just buy a pass for the OZ lounge - looks like business can be obtained for $30USD.
Of course there's always the Casino or some ice skating.
