No need to transfer if all you want to do is book a flight. Tranfering miles tends to be convoluted and many miles are lost in the process, so unless you have a very specific reason to do this, it's not worth it.
Call Korean and ask to book reward flights on partner / SkyTeam airlines. Oh, and you have about a year or so to book flights on CO as they are jumping ship to *A (pending some approvals).

Same question, different reason
I too am also wondering if/how to transfer miles from KA Skypass to Delta? I have 70,000 miles on KA simply because previously I was flying business from IAD-HAN several times a year and was racking up a lot of miles. Then when I switched jobs and started flying other airlines (and going other places) I would use my skypass number instead since I had Morning Calm/Elite status. I do a lot of travel in my new job and it seems I have been flying a lot on DL, CO, and NWA and would prefer to have it all on my DL account now, which is about 23,000 at the moment since I haven't flown KA in about 2 years. Is it possible to do and worth it?

You can't transfer it directly out of KA - http://www.insideflyer.com/tools/mileage_converter/
There may be options using sites like http://www.points.com/ but not sure they would end up as a 1 for 1 transfer.
