Indeed. Same observation for me when I visited in June - one of the few European cities that I would say Koreans outnumber (mainland) Chinese in terms of tourists from East Asia.
Just throwing some numbers out there also:

Almost the same amount of South Korean visited Czech Rep. compare to PRC and US. But once you factor in the fact that S. Korea population is 50M, compare to 325M for US and 1.3B for PRC, the number is crazily impressive.
The route is still 99% tourism. But hey, KE make it work, and clearly they see enough demand during high season to operate a B748i instead of smaller A330s/B772s, and this is AFTER they pull out of the investment in OK.
