Nobody likes Korean. It seems you are resented for being there and subjected to double-standards when it comes to checking. Also, the duties away from home are far too long. Unless you are a single person who doesn't care about maintaining friendships with others, commuting with Korean it appears is a lonely, solitary and isolating experience. The likes of Parc, Direct and Rishworth () need to make that clear to KAL management.

If Korean actually allowed you to be based in any port they fly to more than twice weekly rather commuting from that port to spend 18+ days monthly in Seoul they may have more takers. However I would predict that unless they make the experience of being a foreign pilot with them more palatable then with the looming (and in fact starting to eventuate) aircrew shortage, KAL are going to be in dire straights. Watch for cancelled services and aircraft deferrals.
