Korean Air ticket name correction: check the exception and every airline first

Korean Air generally does not permit replacing the passenger after booking or purchase. For the same verified traveler, it allows one correction within its listed exceptions: a legal name change, at most three English letters in total across family and given names, English to Korean name, or a name change following a gender change.
