transfer Incheon?
Hi,
we will fly from Koror, Palau to Seoul (Incheon) with Korean Airlines. Then we have a flight with Lufthansa to Stockholm, Sweden (via Munich) around 5 hours later, . We will arrive to terminal 1 in Incheon and then we will leave from terminal 2 with Lufthansa. My question is how the transfer procedure will work here? We have booked 2 completely separate tickets. One with Korean Airlines and the other one with Lufthansa. Do we need to collect our luggage, exit and then check in again for our Lufthansa flight? Or is there some kind of cooperation with the airlines so we will be able to transfer smoothly without needing to collect our luggage?

A couple of things ...
You have your terminals mixed up: you will arrive on KE (Korean) into T2 and depart on LH (Lufthansa) from T1.
Second: you will have to collect your luggage at ICN as KE is unlikely to check through your luggage on separate tickets.
Check the ICN website for details on transferring between terminals and then re-check with LH.

Transfer Procedures
From one international flight to another
(Example: Incheon to Tokyo to Los Angeles)- When you fly on a Korean Air international flight, then transfer to another international flight on a different airline to reach your final destination, your baggage is usually transferred automatically to your next flight regardless of carrier.
- You need only check your baggage at your original departing airport and simply claim it when you arrive at your final destination.

Presuming your bags are checked through
Also according to Korean Air website (the 1-132) is the gate number
have to scan BP or itinerary to get between terminals.
IF you do have to collect bags - follow signs to enter Korea. Collect bags. Take free shuttle bus to T1. Check in for Lufthansa there. 5 hours will be enough for that presuming no major layovers.
- Passenger Terminal 1
Arrival in ICN(T2) → 1-132 Transfer (2F) → get on board IAT(Shuttle Train) → Boarding Pass or ITR sould be scaned at the 1-50 Trasnfer gate → get on board IAT(Shuttle Train) → Transfer security screening (2F) → Departure area (3F)
* Passengers without an onward flight boarding pass can check-in
and receive a boarding pass at transfer desk or boarding gate of an operating carrier.
