In the same way few airlines having ordered the 737-8 have ordered the 737-9, again a lot of airlines having the 737-8 on order, ordered the A321neo.

I can understand the logic in what KE have done, but who are the other airlines you are referring to that have ordered the Max8 and the 321 Neo ? I'm sure there must be some, but at 02:50 in the morning here, my brain is struggling to think of them.
KE already have 738s and 739s, I can think of Lion Air/Malindo, United, Delta, KLM and Turkish who also have both, but again, who are the airlines with 738s, who operate 321s, but no 739s ? Actually, thought of one in NH.

Korean Air will operate the A321neo with a two class full service layout on regional services, including on longer sectors to selected destinations in South East Asia. The aircraft will be fitted with premium amenities, including wider seats in both classes and the latest in-flight entertainment and connectivity systems.
“We are pleased to be able to finalise our first ever single aisle aircraft order with Airbus,” said Cho Yang Ho, Chairman of Korean Air Group. “The A321neo will bring new levels of efficiency, longer flying range and greater in-flight comfort to our single aisle fleet, as well as reduced impact on the environment. The A321neo will contribute to our ongoing commitment to offer true excellence in flight wherever we fly.”
