I visited the Asiana Airlines Business Class Lounge in Terminal 1 of Incheon Airport, South Korea, and I will review it. There are three locations located in the area after immigration, and this time I went to West and Central.

Lounge location and directions
There are 3 lounges, all located on the 4th floor. The departure area is on the 3rd floor, so it's one floor up.
East is located around No. 11, Central is around No. 26, and West is around No. 43.
This time I went to West and Central, but the atmosphere of the lounge and the menu offered were almost the same, so if you are actually visiting, I think it would be best to choose the one that is easier to get to.
▼West entrance
The entrance is connected by a passageway and is located in a relatively calm area.
The location is also relatively easy to find.
▼Central entrance
▼Airlines that can be entered
Please complete the procedures at the reception. Please note that Central has automatic gates, so just hold your boarding pass and the gate will open.

▼We have tea bag and stick type coffee.

When I visited, I visited Shinoda around 9am, and it seemed like they had a breakfast-like menu. The menu didn't have many typical Korean dishes, and it felt like a typical hotel breakfast. The menu was suitable for both those who want a hearty meal and those who want something refreshing.
Seats and overall atmosphere
West
Table seating▼
▼Sofa seat
▼Counter seat
▼There is a TV monitor on the other side, so the chair is facing towards the back of the TV.
▼There are seats in front of the buffet table for those who would like to have a light meal.
Central
▼Central automatic gate. You can enter by waving your mobile ticket or other code at the gate.
▼Central has a good location, so the seats are pretty full.
outside view
The lounge has large windows and you can see the boarding gate right in front of you. You can almost see the plane from most seats.
Incheon Airport is the base of Asiana Airlines, so there are rows of Asiana planes lined up.
At the end
Above, we have introduced the Asiana Business Lounge at Incheon Airport. Both Central and West have the same lounge concept. The food offerings and lounge atmosphere were almost the same.
Central is located near the center of the terminal, so it is easy to get to. On the other hand, West is located at the end of the terminal, so you may have to walk a bit.
I think it's best to choose the one closest to the gate of your flight. When I visited, Central was more crowded than West. If Central is busy, you might want to try visiting another lounge.
Although I didn't use it this time, this lounge is also equipped with a shower room. If you are boarding a night flight, you may want to consider taking a shower.
Each seat was equipped with an outlet and USB port. ▼
I was able to use a Japanese outlet as is, without having to use a conversion adapter. However, when using it, it must be compatible with Korean voltage.
