Singapore Airlines' SilverKris Lounge at Incheon is in Terminal 1, Level 4, near the Korea Traditional Cultural Experience Center. Refurbished in October 2019, it has a Singapore-style coffee shop serving laksa, chilli crab with mantou and chwee kueh, a buffet and bar area, and showers. The food beats some first class lounges we've used, but it's small and gets crowded.
Singapore Airlines reopened its refurbished Incheon lounge in October 2019, and we tried it on the way home from our Seoul trip with my parents. The batik-patterned hallway with modern design is similar to the Changi Lounge in Jewel.

The friendly staff greeted us at the counter. The lounge has two areas, the Coffee Shop and the Coffee & Barista bar, catering to different needs.
The Singapore Coffee Shop
If you want Singapore food, head to the coffee shop, which serves local dishes my mum loved: chilli crab sauce with mantou, chwee kueh topped with preserved radish, and laksa kept my parents busy. Even after just a week away, the comfort food warmed their hearts (and bellies!).
Coffee & Barista and the Bar
For a quick bite or a coffee, there's a buffet in the Coffee & Barista area with finger food, sandwiches, macarons and salads, and you can order a cocktail at the bar.
Showers
The lounge has showers, a real comfort before a long flight. The ANA lounge at Narita still wins for its Dyson hair dryers, though, and there were LED face masks for guests to try here.
Our Verdict
The refurbished lounge is a big step up: the food and drinks are better than some first class lounges we've used in other airports. The one drawback is its small size; I can't imagine the crowds at peak times.
