For us, the summer time is just way too hot and humid. Although the trains have ice cold AC, there is a ton of walking in the thick heat. Weirdly, the only time I have experienced rain in Japan was during the summer.
We prefer winter because:
1. There are way less tourist, which means less wait at attractions of popular restaurants.
2. It is cold but we just wore a thicker pair of pants with a down/puffy coat and we were fine. The trains had the heater blasting so they were nice little breaks to warm up. With all the walking, it didn't really feel all that cold to us (except for our hands)
3. Many popular attractions are decorated with tons of Christmas lights and it just looks magical
4. We found that hotel prices are a little cheaper around the winter time
5. Eating a hot steaming bowl of ramen when it is cold out is one of the best feelings
We also have experienced a snow in Tokyo and it didn't feel too cold. It was just a little annoying because it got our shoes wet and some parts were really slippery. There wasn't a lot of snow but enough for it to visibly coat the floor and to feel it under your feet as you walked.
I've never experienced a Chicago winter but I find it comparable to a winter I've experienced in Portland. It is definitely way colder winter than a LA winter.
Book direct
For S. Korea you book thru United, but always an Asiana flight..

AA automatically seats you next to your kids under 12. I might look into Delta instead…

Looks more like a potential concern than a real impactful problem to me.

I'm not advocating for nor against, and not trying to debate anything. Just pointing this out for those worried.
