Maybe this will motivate some change.

And here is an article stating that installing the fast track may go against 'national feelings'

BTW going to Korean news sites may not be healthy for your computer with all the ...... ads on the pages.

Really? I fly OZ all the time, and the only time I've seen J and Y board simultaneously was when there were separate jetways (e.g. just this Sunday on a B77L they were separate, and so economy boarded at the same time). But otherwise elites are always first - I know this because I usually fly Y but get to board first because of my diamond status.

Agree with this. I moved to Korea right after Incheon opened, and security used to be a breeze to get through.
Over the last few years, it has gotten significantly slower, often with lines just for the document check before the security line.
And getting into Korea through customs, compared to years ago, is just awful.
.......still take it over most non-Asian airports though.

Also, can we talk about what's going on with immigration coming into Korea now? The past 3 times I've had to wait ~20 minutes at the minimum because they have a dedicated area for Korean passports (with very short lines that move quickly) and then a much smaller area for foreign passports which is always full. I wonder why they changed it.

Update on this.... Sent KE an email inquiring about it, this is what I got back-
"Regarding your inquiry of First Class lounge in the new terminal,
please kindly understand that we could not give you a definitive answer
because we are still in the process of planning. "

KE have finally decided on their lounges in ICN T2. The following was leaked:
First Class Lounge
Prestige Lounge (for J class)
and finally they are making a separate Million Miler Lounge for Million Mile Club members and Morning Calm Premium passengers in Y/J
Also there will be a separate SkyTeam lounge for DL, KL and AF

Total 6 lounges will be operated by KE and the area (area total?) will be larger than the current ones.
East side will have first class lounge, prestige lounge, and miler club lounge.
West side will have prestige lounge and SkyTeam lounge.
And there's a Concierge lounge at the check-in area.
Google map shows that gates are installed. 5 gates show 3 bridges, presumably for A380.
