Most Star Alliance airlines have stayed the same. Asiana is still 40K for Elite (Diamond), lasting for two years. It's the best deal around if you fly any Star Alliance partners. This article only references U.S. airlines, hotel chains and that "1 million Americans will lose airline status in 2023".

You are right on about Asiana.
On Jan. 1, 2023, United Airlines raised requirements for Premier status tiers. Come March 2023, it’ll be tougher to earn American Airlines Gold elite status.
Curse you United.
