Your 972 would be Henan Economic Radio most likely, 100kw. It regularly is heard behind 1500kw 972 in Seoul and is a really hard signal to shake. I've IDed it a few times under there and 972 is under 40 miles away. Nothing else with enough power to hear on that frequency in Chinese, anywhere.
918 would be Shandong People's Radio, Jinan (200kw). It's a mess of echoes in Seoul because there are other 50 and 10kw affiliates on the same frequency.
819 I'd imagine is Pyongyang. I doubt you'd hear MBC (never say never I guess). But that Korean inflection is drastically different between north and south. The northern media dialect (which doesn't resemble normal speech patterns) is very distinct, but sometimes they also run more normal programming with normal speech patterns.
1377 is obviously CNR-1 in Zhengzhou //Beijing (the reason your 972 is even more obvious). That's far inland, but they get out strong into Seoul even at 600kw. I wonder about the distance of that, geez! They're the only CNR-1 on the frequency as well and the frequency isn't busy at all in the region.
756 is CNR-1 Harbin, 100kw (or one of the many smaller CNR-1s, but doubtful given your other stations from up that way). 756 is almost exclusively owned by CNR-1. There's a 10kw station in Japan and no stations whatsoever on 756 in Korea to hear.
1242 is obviously Nippon, Tokyo, 100kw as you likely suspect anyway. They play music and their unique cuckoo clock TOH ID sound. Nothing else to hear on there and 1242 in Korea recently went on super-low power. At 40 miles, you can barely hear the thing anymore whereas it used to pummel Tokyo, but no more.
All the others I'm sure you obviously know, such as the two Changchun signals (981, 1017) and Beijing. Anything else would be mere speculation on my part as you obviously have a fair number of 10kw signals in there that you got.

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 558 HLQH soft vocal music 1441UT //603 which channel was actually mostly Chinese talk by woman 603 HLSA soft vocal music 1431UT, //558 which was barely there just then 612 4QR fanfare, ABC news 1500UT 891 JOHK man in Japanese //594 1401UT 918 unID woman in Chinese 1506UT 945 CNR1 man in Chinese, news sounders 1530UT, best on north Flag 1206 Yanbian woman and man in Korean 1501UT 1287 JOHR man in Japanese 1524UT Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) 702 2BL man talking //612 1507UT, plus someone else. 819 woman and man talking, Korean inflection 1504UT 837 JOQK man talking //891 1401UT972 unID woman talking, Chinese inflection during dip in HLCA's signal 1502UT1143 woman talking, Chinese inflection 1503UT; something else there also 1242 pop music 1503UT 1323 CRI immense carrier, slightest traces of chimes and fanfare 1500UT, heck, those could have been from one of the other CRI stations on that channel, they were so weak.
