Why does the Korean Air seat map show open seats when the flight is sold out?

Seat maps show which physical seats have been assigned, not how many tickets are for sale. A flight can be sold out in a fare class while the seat map still shows open seats, because many passengers have not selected a seat yet. To see how full a flight really is, use Flight Availability.

Can I set a Seat Alert for a specific Korean Air seat number?

Yes. Seat Alerts can target a window seat, an aisle seat, an exit row, two seats together, or a specific seat number.

Does ExpertFlyer assign or book my Korean Air seat?

No. ExpertFlyer shows availability and alerts you to changes. You complete the seat change on the Korean Air website or app.
