Maybe some Korean air exec threw their pre-departure nuts into the engine because it wasn't served properly.

Hey people ... when an engine is on fire the passengers are in real danger.
Full marks to Korean Airlines. The only sensible thing to do is evacuate all pax ASAP.
- especially if I am one of them !!! I would do the same in a light aircraft.
I have seen one case (B737) that was totally destroyed on the runway after an engine fire that progressed very very rapidly.

I thought you are not supposed to evacuate on a runway unless you are unable to taxi or passenger are facing imediate danger(such as smoke in cabin). I thought they should taxi the plane on to a taxiway and then pull the fire handle, shut it shut down, wait for the ground crew to put out the fire and tow the plane back to gates. Of course, those Korean pilots can just say "F it we gonna take a shit on one of Japan's most busy runways and let them clean it up later."
