Watson, who came through two rounds of qualifying, won 6-4 6-4 against China's Lu.
The 32-year-old broke Lu to take the opening set and a further break in the second set sealed a comfortable victory in Seoul.

Watson will face either Ukrainian fifth seed Marta Kostyuk or Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands in round two.
