You will find more information on these fare products in the Star Alliance forum.
For pricing and other fare options, you can also use ITA (and KVS I believe). The fares are dependent on where you start your trip from. So you may find that it is cheaper to begin your trip at say ICN.
These have been popular over the years, but I believe that in the past couple years the fares have increased considerably especially if you start your trip in North America.

We used 34000 miles J class RTW tickets once, some eight or nine years ago. Originating from Europe.
Used it, together with a flexible return to Europe that we already had, for (1) a trip to Asia and Australia, then back home at YYC, and (2) a subsequent trip to Brazil, starting at YYC and ending at YYZ. Bought additional round-trip YYZ-YYC, and ended up with returns to Europe.
All in all, price was competitive with three Y tickets, one to HK and Taiwan, one to Australia and one to Brazil. However, price of the RTW was somewhat lower then, and individual tickets probably higher.
In addition, there are more discounted J fares (Z fares etc.) available nowadays, and there are a number of additional charges on these RTW fares. Such as, AC when flying on a 777, some SQ legs, etc.
This summer, we spent a few months in Europe, and then we went to Asia. My wife used one of these nice Aeroplan mini RTW tickets, which worked very nicely. For myself, I looked into RTW fares. But I found a Z fare from Germany to China just a bit above CAD 2000. Add a couple of latitude + upgrade, and given that I need to go back to Japan next month, I figure that my trip to Europe plus two trips to Asia, all flown in front, including the flight to Japan for which it is hard/expensive to get a confirmed upgrade at the time of reservation, won't cost me more than CAD 8k.
An RTW ticket would cost more and would not have included my trip to Japan. Would also have been complicated to expense.

This should give you some idea: http://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_U...otions/rtw.jsp or http://www.airtimetable.com/star_all...orld_fares.htm
But they might not be the most recent prices.
