The interesting thing here is that Korean Air has codeshare with Delta. If Delta makes a large enough expansion in Austin, Korean Air might bite with an A330-200. That only needs 218 passengers to fill.
Korean Air already had a lot competition in IAH->E. Asia traffic that didn't terminate in Seoul- Air China, ANA, EVA Air, and United (Which are all codeshares with United too, btw.)
In sum, there's reason for cautious optimism on Austin->Seoul non-stop, if Delta goes big enough with Austin.

I flew Korean from Seoul to Dallas recently and they codeshared with American, which was weird to me because they're in two different alliances (SkyTeam & One World, respectively). We got there all the same, so I didn't complain.
