Tight seat pitch 29"-30" but otherwise fine in my limited experience.
Just booked Jin Air 16 April LJ202, NRT/1050 - ICN/1320 for $120USD@ thru Expedia.co.jp.

One of my colleagues who is quite tall (6'4") asked at check-in for an exit row on our domestic flight, and was very surprised that he was allocated it without any issues. Otherwise he would have suffered.....TK

You guys are going to have an amazing time at the DMZ/Tunnel tour!!! It's definitely not a tourist trap and worthwhile doing. This coming from a native Korean too
