7/2/2018 update (either the link or this method may die at any point):
Here's the steps for those booked Asiana flight using UA (or other) miles.
For all award trips, "Find my trip" doesn't work.
Select "Check-in" and fill the information. But not through the check-in button at the bottom of the first page. Go through "BOOK" at the top bar and then click "check-in". https://flyasiana.com/I/US/EN/CheckIn.do#none
You must have the ASIANA record locator number, which is available on the United site for your reservation.
It won't allow check-in because your travel date is too far away. But it lets us to select seats !!
Remember: between 72 and 48 hours before each flight, all good seats (front Y) are open.

So....what's the deal with Asiana seat reservations?
I have an United award ticket (with Asiana PNR) and the seat assignment option is not available on the app, and I can't figure out if I can even add my PNR on the site.
So I called Asiana, and they had pre-assigned seats, which for me was 23K on the A380. This is the second to last row in business class. The CSR told me that everything closer to the front is blocked "under airport control" and I'd have to call 24 hours before the flight to get something better. The flight is 5 weeks out.
Has anyone heard of this before? I have made Asiana seat reservations in advance (and online) in the past, but it was a while ago.

Having this issue as well. Just booked a OZ flight using UA miles and no seat selection available on either the OZ app or website. It did automatically assign a seat however.

Can't Select Seats
Booked roundtrip United Rewards tickets from SFO to Seoul in business.
On the way back, I'm flying on Asiana metal.
Business from Seoul to LAX then United from LAX to SFO.
I've got the Asiana specific reservation code on the United website but when I enter my reservation into the Asiana website AND iOS mobile app, I'm able to view my reservation but unable to select a seat. I really don't want to be shunted in the back row of business.
Am I missing something here?
This is what I'm seeing on the mobile app: No ability to do seat selection.

MODS: Please merge with Asiana Seat Selection
OP, I don't have an answer for you. But it's an ongoing issue, so no need to start a new thread.

I was able to select with a United business class award on Asiana. Looking at my old itinerary, I see my standard seat selection pattern. Unfortunately, it's been a year so I no longer recall the details, but it was on-line as I didn't have to call in.
I did have to extract the Asiana locator out of the United PNR.

Seems seat reservation is broken again. For about a year until July or august, it seemed to be working across the board, no matter how you made your reservation.
Now, it only seems to work for online purchases. I can select seats for an upcoming trip I purchased through the OZ website, but can't select/change seats for an itinerary I purchased by calling in to the office.
