Narrative:
On descent into icn; we were changing the FMS/CDU from a previously planned and entered south-runway; STAR; and approach; which was in the FMS database and efb (electronic flight bag) jepp; to a different north-runway; STAR; and approach. At that time; we noticed most of the FMS/CDU north runway STAR names and identifiers were different than our efb jepp data. Then; we verified efb jepp data dates. They were the new; updated today (expires yesterday). However; we identified the FMC database; that starts yesterday; was not selected.we verified and confirmed remaining FMC route waypoints for accuracy. They were the same as efb jepp waypoints. We decided to continue up to the verified route end waypoint; (before STAR begins). CRM alternatives and precautions were evaluated. Weather was cavok. Upon contact with icn-radar; we advised that our STAR/approach database was inaccurate and requested radar vectors for an arrival to a visual approach; before STAR entry waypoint. We received radar vectors; prior to the last route end waypoint. We continued with normal radar vectors and descents to a visual approach and landing. [Causal factor was] FMC out of date.
