I called last night, but since my preferred dates are beyond 30 June, I was told that different origin is not possible without fare recalculations, so I'm just staying put for now. Is there any noise coming from South Korea that they will open anytime this year?

The South Korean government has announced that starting March 21, people entering the country from overseas will not need to self-quarantine if they are fully vaccinated.
The announcement comes despite the daily coronavirus case count in the country hovering around 300,000 over the past several days.
Health authorities say they confirmed nearly 283,000 new cases and a record number of 229 deaths on Thursday.
The government, in a bid to reduce the burden on the medical system, retracted its requirement this month for family members living with infected individuals to quarantine.
But it kept its requirement in place for people entering the country with negative test results to self-quarantine for seven days at their home or designated facilities.
Following complaints about the unfairness of the restriction, the government decided to lift the mandate from March 21.
The government also plans to allow people entering the country to use public transportation from the airport to their destinations, starting in April.

Lufthansa updated their Ukraine waiver, allowing all pax booked on flights before 31st of August to reroute to/from Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Moldova and Romania free of charge. (no fare difference, or free refund)
I called today and managed to get exception and fly out of PRG to ICN

However, I must add that there're some (not significant) schedule changes, which might have helped to convince LH to accept such change (to be honest, it wasn't hard to do at all, which is very nice ).

I have not changed my ticket yet. My first flight is in the middle of May and I am hoping that LH will extend the rebooking date at that time.
I just want to visit South Korea in autumn instead of summer :-)

I've just completed my trip. Everything went smoothly.
MUC - ICN flight on A350 was very pleasant as I didn't have any neighbor next to my window seat.
ICN - FRA on B747-8 was even more pleasant as I managed to get a seat in F (without any additional charge or e-voucher). Unfortunately, it was only a semi-F class as no first class catering and other forms of F soft product were offered. Nevertheless, spending almost 13 hours in F seat, which is really very comfortable, was a pleasure. IFE in LH F in B747-8 is archaic though
