Planning a trip to South Korea and trying to figure out the return journey using points

Current points:
Amex MR: 3,00,000
Axis Atlas: 25,000
HDFC Diners Black: 35,000

Looking for 2 economy seats. My priority is simply the cheapest redemption possible, not maximizing ₹/point. So I’d really appreciate practical suggestions instead of “save your points for better value” advice.

I’m open to:

Flying from Seoul or Busan
Positioning to another nearby Asian city if it significantly reduces the points required
Mixed programs/partners if that’s the best option

I also have 1L Accor ALL points, so hotels are sorted. That said, I’m not fine booking revenue as well for hoteks
Would love to hear what routes or airline programs you’d recommend. Thanks!
