Turkish Airlines aircraft is not moving but it is definitely not at the final parking position. There must be something with the jetway or something else. Ground control should not give the Asiana taxi clearance before its way is fully clear.
That is not how things function at any airport I am aware of. If ground control at major airports only allowed taxi with assured clearances airport capacity would be cut in half or more.
