ICN First Class Lounge Access
First of all, forgive me for asking a silly question......
I have a few hours layover at ICN on my flight from Munich to Singapore in a next couple of weeks.
MUC - ICN on LH F
connecting to SQ603 on Business as SQ does not have F on this flight.
My question is if I will be granted access to the Asiana first class lounge at ICN with my SQ603 Business Class BP and a 'used' LH718 First Class BP?
I am an AC SE *Gold which doesn't matter in this case I think...

The reason I am asking is that my understanding of Asiana Lounge at ICN are actually are an OZ aka *A lounges, therefore should be abide by *A rules. The rules are clearly explained that '*A First Class Lounge' access are given to those passangers holding a First Class *A BP within the 24 hours period.
What happen are in both cases for 'Patiauw' and myself, the First Class BP flew from our state of origin are within the 24 hours period and connecting to a regional flight that have no First class.
The question is are we included into those mentioned *A First Class passengers holding a *A BP within the 24 hours?

I did a trip MUC-ICN in LH F to connect to UA C, and they would only allow me the C side.
Biggest problem is that there are very few sockets in the C lounge.

FYI, I don't even bother going into OZ C lounge anymore. Food is just utterly bad. I just use my priority pass to access Hub Lounge and Korean Air Lounge in Concourse A.

When is the last time you used the OZ C lounge. Around October last year their catering in the C lounge improved substantially and I think in between meal times KE has a little better selection, but around meal times OZ's is pretty good and their food quality is now better than KE's.

Just to be clear, you may want to specify which OZ C lounge you're referring to. When the concourse first opened, and OZ opened their new lounges in the main terminal as well as in the concourse, I would have said the food was roughly equivalent between the two C lounges.
Later on though, they greatly improved the concourse C lounge. Perhaps not so much in the quality of the food, but in having the full selection, including the hot food, available most of the day. Prior to that, it was only available in a few very small windows of time during the day, meaning at any other time the food would have been considered awful due to only snacks being available.
When the OZ C lounge in the concourse updated their food, the one in the main terminal did not. So I'm wondering if they now did (ie. have hot food available all, or most of the day), or if they still have the very limited hours but improved the food they do have.
