I am applying for the DTV in Los Angeles. If I intend to fly Korean airlines and have a layover in Seoul, would my last port of embarkation be USA, or Korea, since it asks for that information in the application?

Please no trolls, and thank you for the help.
Answer summary
When applying for the DTV in Los Angeles and flying with a layover in Seoul, the consensus is that your last port of embarkation should be listed as the USA. This is because you are applying from the US to Thailand, and the flight that ultimately takes you to Thailand matters for the application.

You’ll enter the flight number and location that matches.

We took KE069 from ICN to BKK, so ICN (Seoul) was my boarding location enough though it wasnt where my trip started.

it is always the flight that lands in Thailand, so it will be the South Korea to Thailand flight and thus boarded a flight in South Korea

Unless you are spending the night in Korea, and they stamp your passport. it would be the US. I made that same trip 4 days ago!
