I read online prior to COVID that QANTAS signed a contract to have their last four A380s (at the time) repainted in PUS at the Korean Air facility there, but this may have changed in the intervening years. OQJ was the first of the four with the other eight A380s already repainted in AUH. The link following the first repainting is below:

DRS has been used by QANTAS for refurbishment, gear changes and other maintenance. OQI may be going there for a gear change and could return to SYD via PUS. Both EBE and EBF flew from DRS direct to PUS for repainting after their freighter conversions. We shall see.
Thank you for that wonderful insight James
