It's just an offer at this stage. Personally I doubt it will come off.

The design of the KF-21 emphasizes reduced radar cross-section (RCS) characteristics and provisions for future upgrades to include full stealth capabilities. It features a delta-wing configuration with canards to provide agility and maneuverability. The design includes a provision for an internal weapons bay in later variants and utilizes composite materials to lower weight and optimize performance.

Canards?

 

[FighterJock]

An interesting development for the Boramae if they ever develop it. The KF-21 will become the second 5th Generation fighter to feature canards after the J-20.
