For example, Korean Air and Air Canada say that the dimension of the baggage must be equal to or less than 158 cms/62 inches. Has anyone faced any issue at the airport regarding their baggage size? Have you carried a bigger baggage without any issue? Please suggest.

Yes, it can be an issue.

If the length + width + height exceeds 158 cm, it will very likely be considered oversized baggage and additional fees will be applied. Air Canada can charge 100 dollars extra for oversized baggage.

Agree or disagree but just to add the weight and size restrictions are indirectly in place to protect the health of the baggage handlers hence the 'penalties' for oversize and over weight baggage which would require special handling.
