I’m not sure there is a UA805. UA893 is SFO-ICN, with a duration of 12h4m. 😊

It has been 805 in the past at least once (see pic).
Maybe in OP's case the wrong flight number was loaded and no time difference was used in its flight-time calculation?

UA 805 806 is seasonal service between SFO and ICN. April to October. 3 or 4 times a week I think.

My flight SFO ICN is in two weeks.

Flight duration of my April UA805 is 4hr 48min in UA app seat selection section. The correct duration of 12hr 40min is listed in UA app reservation detail section.

4hr 48min is incorrect. I am wondering how UA app comes up with this number.

Flight duration of my May UA805 is listed 12hr 25min.

I've seen this before too. They may have just loaded the wrong flight number for flight-time calculations (or have the wrong city pair, i.e. the displayed city-pair doesn't align with the city-pair used for flight-time calculations).

Should be no issue at all.
The only time I'd start to worry is if -after boarding- the captain comes on the PA and repeats that short flight time.

Time difference without correcting for time zones, programming error
